Brick Street Poetry plans to work with Art With a Heart in the IPS kindergarten classes that are part of their existing program activities to present costumed poetry characters that will accompany a poet for readings in these classes. Poetry helps show students how creatively words can be used, how words can tell an entertaining story and explore a person’s thoughts, and how they can be used in both fun and informative ways. Teachers will follow up with thoughts about imagination and words after the poetry visits.
