Poetry Madness 2014 Round #1

Mrs. Kostiuk’s Dad is a BIG basketball fan, and every March there is a College Basketball tournament in the USA known as “March Madness”. This March, our class will be participating in a tournament of our own…but instead of basketball, we are going to use poetry! (Thank you for the idea, Mr. Salsich!) Every week there will be a post of students in our class reading different poems they have chosen, and a poll to vote on your weekly favourite. When we return from Spring Break, we will be down to the “Final Four” in our quest to find our favourite poem! Stay tuned each week…even throughout Spring Break…and remember to vote!
