Yes I am a teacher, a fourth grade teacher actually!
I look forward to checking out the recommended poem blog and to your daily musings on poetry and instructional approaches.

To Mrs. C's 1st and 2nd. classes, I will post the promised letter this weekend. I'm away doing a poetry festival and thought I'd have time yesterday, but I didn't! So, the post will be up on Monday!
Talk with you then.
