Poetry for Kids: We Want Silly, Strange, and Sensational!

Funded Apr 14, 2023

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution towards enriching our elementary school library. Your thoughtful donation of poetry books has opened a world of imagination and learning for our students that is truly invaluable.

Across all grade levels, our students have been not only reading but also actively engaged in creating their own poetry. They have embraced the art of self-expression and creativity, thanks to the inspiration these books provide. It's truly heartwarming to see kindergartners crafting their first rhymes and fifth-graders delving into more complex forms of poetry.

What makes this experience even more enriching is how our students are using their newly acquired technology skills to share their poetic creations with the entire school community. We have integrated technology into our library sessions, teaching students how to use digital tools to create visually stunning slideshows. These slideshows feature their original poems accompanied by carefully chosen images and background music. A selection of these slideshows have been showcased on our school's TV news show during the morning announcements.

We extend our deepest gratitude for your support in fostering a love for poetry and technological proficiency among our students. Your generosity has enabled us to create a dynamic and enriching learning environment that will have a lasting impact on these young minds. Thank you for making a difference in their lives.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Salmi
