Rolling out a new program:

“No more silent voices”- Green Earth Poets Cafe announced today the establishment of  “No more silent voices”, a creative writing poetry workshops accessible to young people who are incarcerated or detained. In these workshops, young people learn new tools for coping with stress, moving past trauma, and learning to take responsibility for their actions and their emotions.
No more silent voices seeks to establish a productive forum for self-expression for teens and young adults in the alternative and transitional environments where our workshops take place also.
For more information about “No more silent voices” or for information to get involved contact Curtis Harris, Executive Director -Green Earth Poets Cafe, 516-670-4868 or via email :greenearthpoetscafe@gmail.com.

Rollout of “No more silent voices” is expected by June, 2014.

Read Across America Day

Cultivating a Love of Reading Is a Gift That Will Last Forever

Teaching children to treasure books and to love reading is a gift that parents and teachers give that students will take with them throughout the rest of their lives. March 3 is Read Across America Day. It’s a day to celebrate books and the joy of reading. Check out the list of activities you can use in your classroom. We also think the 50 States Booklist is pretty cool. It’s a list of books written about each state or by authors living in that state.

• Activity Ideas to Celebrate Read Across America Day
• Booklists
– 50 State Booklist
– Celebrity Book Picks
– Kids’ Top 100 Books
– Teacher’s Top 100 Books for Children
• Printable Certificates

One More Thing

The PBS KIDS website has announced a Writers Contest for Kids. The contest is open to children in kindergarten, first, second and third grades and encourages them to celebrate their creativity while building literacy skills by writing and illustrating their own stories. Check out contest details and help your students enter submissions to their local PBS stations.
