April is National Poetry Month

For the month of April we will be focusing on the poetry books by the author Douglas Florian. He writes a lot of books dealing with science, animals and nature. One of my favorite books by Douglas Florian is Unbeelievables

All of the poems are about bees. It is a great tool to tie in Earth Day (April 22) and how bees are disappearing. Many children do not understand why bees and pollen are so important. I use this book to teach 3rd grade about the Earth and environment.
