Poem-a-Day - Poems for Mother's Day

Teachers and librarians, as classes around the world continue online, connecting students with poetry is more important than ever. We have received an incredible response to our 2020 Dear Poet project, resulting in an outpouring of letters from students writing to acclaimed poets. In light of this response, we are extending the deadline for Dear Poet until May 31st. 

Read this article from the Library of Congress on how Dear Poet is helping teachers bring contemporary poetry to their students, and assign your students to participate in Dear Poet from home. A group of teachers from across the country has created this playlist of video guides to help students relate and respond.
