55 | Scrambling for ideas for National Poetry Month? 3 Poetry Ideas that Your Students Will Love

April is Poetry Month, and if you’re thinking “ugh, not another acrostic…” this episode is for you. I’m sharing three fresh, arts-infused poetry ideas that are simple to implement, fun for your students, and packed with SEL goodness. These strategies don’t require fancy materials, a background in poetry, or hours of prep—and they’re designed to engage all your students . . . even the reluctant writers. You’ll hear how randomness, music, and simple self-reflection can help students express themselves in meaningful, creative ways (and have fun doing it). If your classroom could use a little creative spark, this episode is here to remind you: poetry can be joyful, powerful, and totally doable. Try just ONE of the ideas from this episode and share your experience with us in the Inspiring Teachers Facebook group.
