It’s
Poetry Friday and the perfect day to share another poem from The POETRY FRIDAY
Anthology for Celebrations—named after this fabulous tradition. Today’s poem
actually features a holiday from February. It’s Random Acts of Kindness Week,
the second week of every February. For more info on this celebration, click HERE. In The Poetry Friday Anthology for Celebrations, we feature DAYS, WEEKS, and whole MONTHS of celebration, too. You'll see examples of each throughout this month's postings.
Elna R. has recruited several kids to perform
Eileen Spinelli’s poem, “How to Love Your Little Corner of the World” all set
in their snow-filled neighborhood!
And just for
fun, Elna shares the “blooper reel” showing their mistakes and giggles which is
almost as much fun as the poem performance! Enjoy them both.
For this poem and 155 more
(all in English AND Spanish), order your own copy of The Poetry Friday
Anthology for Celebrations HERE and

Well, I loved this poem before (one of my new favorites in the world) and now...well, now I just want to hug the computer and a book and a dog and even the snow. Thank you. Beautifully read, filmed, great music...a delight! Happy Poetry Friday, Sylvia, to you and your students too! Congratulations again on this book with Janet. xo, a.
I am SO with Amy on her comments and thoughts. I love this and want to learn how to make these videos. Terrific. The kids will love this!! Thanks, Sylvia and your students. Are they taking your course online? (Maybe I should go back and read the first posting on this...)Do you have tips on how to make the videos? The kids were darling!
What a great poem. Thanks to Janet Wong, too, for creating such a lovely new PFA book!

What a perfect video -- and a great idea to share more of these for PM!
I adore this one too! The kids bring the words to life! This is a perfect way to celebrate National Poetry Month. Thank you!
Could those kids have been any cuter?!?!
Applause for the wonderful actors/readers/huggers, for Eileen's magnificent poem, for the creative video makers, for Sylvia and Janet for a book to celebrate!
Thanks so much for stopping by, friends. I agree-- Eileen's poem is so lovely and Elna and the kids have done such a great job bringing it to life! You can tell they had a lot of fun with it!
Hello there dear Sylvia. I love uplifting video clips like these - would definitely share with my teacher-students - so inspiring! Random acts of kindness and poetry - they go together. :)
