Poetry is powerful, but it can also be intimidating. The right poems open up a new world for students and give them a new perspective on the world around them. When the seasons change, poetry is a wonderful way to look for deeper meanings when the snow melts and flowers bloom. Here are some lovely spring poems that kids of all ages can share and explore in the classroom.
