The Poetry Friday Anthology is a great book to infuse poetry into your elementary classroom or library. The book offers one poem each week for each grade level K-5, or 216 poems in all. Each poem is accompanied by a short, lively Take 5! activity designed to engage students. For Texas teachers and librarians, TEKS correlations have been helpfully provided. Short on time? The book is well organized, easy to use, and the compilers suggest that a five-minute poetry break is an effective way to use transition time on Fridays or any other day. An excellent volume for elementary teachers and librarians by well-known compilers Dr. Sylvia Vardell and poet Janet Wong.
