It is #WorldPoetryDay but we should really be celebrating poetry every day in schools. There's a write-up on the Reading for Pleasure 🧶 site about how to introduce #PoemOfTheDay to a class. Once it's embedded, it basically runs itself. ourfp.org/eop/poem-of-th…

Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself.
