In honor of National Poetry Month, we had the opportunity to meet and hear from Shelburne's own Poet Laureate, Rick Bessette! He shared some of his poems with us and also shared his journey to becoming a poet. We learned that he loves to write about Shelburne Farms and nature! He also said that if any child at SCS writes a poem, he or she can bring it to Rick (he works at the Hardware Store in town!) and he will hang that child's work in the library! As we wrap up our fairy tale unit, we will be doing a bit of poetry to end the school year!
