I have pulled my first 5 Poetry Books to share with my class when we I introduce Poetry Friday next week. I am so excited to look through them and reread my all time favorite poems. I will sticky note one in each book, so I can hook my students. My favorite poem title is under each book. I will then send them out in groups of 5 to share the book and tab their own. We will end our first Poetry Friday with sharing their favorite choices. Have a great start to your 2012-2013 Poetry Friday celebrations. And remember Poetry Friday is delicious!

Thanks to Mary Lee for hosting this week's poetry Friday with a snickerdoodle roundup @ A Year of Reading
Hi Maria. Thanks for the book/poem recommendations. Great that you're introducing Poetry Friday to your classroom.
Love your blog theme, too. I'm a software product manager by day so I always enjoy seeing how people in the kidlitosphere are using and talking about technology.
It's so fun to hear that so many teachers incorporate Poetry Friday into their school weeks. I would have been in heaven as a young student if I had had a teacher like you! Good luck with the start of school this year...
Great list! I'm going to get on Amazon right now and pick up a few of these titles. Thanks for sharing!
