Description:

Join us in celebration of National Poetry Month! Poems are universal. They are the lyrics to the lullabyes we sing and nursery rhymes we chant. They are the verses from the books we share and the rhymes we use to teach. They are all of this and more. Come and explore the wonder and joy of sharing poetry with young children. In this workshop we will explore using poetry to nurture language development and early literacy, develop body awareness and mindfulness and assist with classroom management. Come ready to sing, dance, and share in the beauty and magic of poetry!

Before you register:

  1. Westcoast offers interactive, live workshops as opposed to webinars or lectures. In an online environment this requires a reliable internet connection, an updated device and enabling the camera and microphone for the duration of each session. These are basic requirements to attend our workshops and to receive a certificate of participation so please consider this before you register.
  2. The workshop/course will take place via Zoom. A link for all sessions will be emailed to you a day before the workshop.
  3. Check your email settings and your spam folder.
  4. If you are new to Zoom watch the video How to Join a Zoom Meeting. You do not need to download Zoom to attend, but access may be quicker when logged in to Zoom. You can download Zoom for free at zoom.us/signup.
  5. Join each session by clicking the link 15 min. before start time.
  6. Doors close 15 min. after start time.
  7. Workshops/courses are never recorded. If you miss a session, there is no way to make it up and you will not receive a certificate.
  8. A certificate will be emailed to participants who attend all sessions, after completion.
  9. Self reflection resources/materials will be emailed to participants at the end of the first session. This will count for .5 additional hours of independent learning on your certificate for a total of 2 hours.

Presenter Information
Cassidy has spent the last decade working in various settings and organizations as an educator and Librarian. Her jobs have included: working in school, non-profit, and public libraries, teaching ESL, tutoring students grade K-12, and as an ECE-A with preschool and after school ages. Cassidy is always curious and loves learning and sharing her knowledge with others. She also loves her family, cats and honeybees. When she isn't in the Library at WELL., you can find her in her backyard tending bees or on a long walk in the woods. Originally from the land of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, Cassidy has lived, worked, and learned on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples including the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil Waututh, and Qayqayt First Nation for the past 14 years.
