The Academy of American Poets Educator Newsletter for May was rich in resources and ideas, building on the energy of April, National Poetry Month. 

You can sign up for the newsletter as well as for the service "Teach this Poem." Today's poem is from that series. The Carolina Wren by Laura Donnelly includes a tape of its song from the American Bird Conservancy.

If you subscribe you will receive a poem, related resources and classrooms in your inbox each Monday morning throughout the school year with ideas and suggestions on teaching the poem.
