The \u003cb\u003e30 Painless Classroom Poems\u003c\/b\u003e series makes it easy for you, the elementary school teacher, media specialist, or reading specialist, to share poetry with your students. Whether you already love poetry or you fear or even actively dislike it, these books are for you. The poems, Notes from the Poet, extension activities written by experienced classroom teachers, and tips for using poetry in your classroom will have you sharing poems in no time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eFairy Tale Garage Sale\u003c\/b\u003e, award-winning poet Laura Purdie Salas (author of \u003ci\u003eBookSpeak \u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWater Can Be...\u003c\/i\u003e, and more) shares 30 poems from the citizens of Fairy Tale Land, who are having a neighborhood garage sale. Finally, they can get rid of clutter from their earlier adventures  These 30 poems focus on seven fairy tales: Cinderella; Goldilocks and the Three Bears; Snow White and the Seven Dwarves; Rapunzel; Jack and the Beanstalk; The Emperor's New Clothes; and Thumbelina. For each fairy tale, an introductory poem summarizes the key events of the tale for those students not familiar with it. Then three poems from three characters' points-of-view offer up items for sale. What does the Evil Queen need with a mirror that tells the truth, after all? And why doesn't Rapunzel need barrettes anymore? These humorous poems offer behind-the-scenes looks and sometimes different opinions about why things happened as they did. Great for comparing versions of the same event when paired with prose or multimedia versions of the fairy tales. Mostly rhyming poems, but some other forms, too (cinquain, diamante, acrostic...) Extension activities by Colby Sharp share ideas for springboarding from these poems into deeper learning across many content areas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSample: \u003c\/p\u003e From Rapunzel: Item for sale: Castle For sale by: The Witch \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharming Tower - Perfect for One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne room\u003cbr\u003e One window\u003cbr\u003e Not one single door\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo rugs\u003cbr\u003e No curtains\u003cbr\u003e No tacky d cor\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI'm old\u003cbr\u003e Can't climb up\u003cbr\u003e These walls made of stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo make me\u003cbr\u003e An offer\u003cbr\u003e And make this your home \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote from the Poet: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepetition (and I know I've already talked about this in another Note, so I'm repeating myself a little bit ) is really key to lots of poetry. I repeat two words in this poem: \"one\" and \"no.\" The idea for this horrible castle where Rapunzel was kept prisoner is that it's lonely. It's lacking in anything that would show comfort or luxury. I'm hoping that repeating those words helps get that idea across. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSee all of the \u003cb\u003e30 Painless Classroom Poems\u003c\/b\u003e at www.30PainlessClassroomPoems.com. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: For those of you collecting all my \u003cb\u003e30 Painless Classroom Poems\u003c\/b\u003e books, please note that some information, such as Why Poetry Matters and Classroom Poetry Tips, is repeated from book to book.

Her three big sisters taught her to read when she was 4, and she read constantly, ignoring orders from her parents to \"Go outside and get some fresh air!\" She grew up in Florida and heard these dreaded words year round. When forced outside, she climbed up to her treehouse or lay on the trampoline, reading. Books were magic, and it never occurred to her that real people actually wrote them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToday, Laura is thrilled to be part of creating that magic for today's kids. She has written more than 120 books for kids and teens, including \u003ci\u003eWater Can Be...\u003c\/i\u003e (Millbrook, 2014), \u003ci\u003eA Leaf Can Be...\u003c\/i\u003e (Millbrook, 2012: Bank Street Best Books, IRA Teachers' Choice, Minnesota Book Award Finalist, Riverby Award for Nature Books for Young Readers, and more), and \u003ci\u003eBookSpeak!
