"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." ---Robert Frost-
The Importance of Poetry in Childhood
"Growing up isn't what it used to be. Today, our kids, from even the youngest of ages, are bombarded with stimuli far exceeding what we, or any of the generations preceding us, ever had to cope with. How do we keep our kids grounded in the midst of iPads and pop up ads, TV screens and Twitter memes?" Preschool teacher and poet David Griswold offers that poetry may hold at least part of the answer.
BE THE CHANGE
When someone asks you how you're doing today, pause, and try to answer them in a rhyming couplet or haiku :)
