(You may be surprised!) Praise for School Visits by Children's Poet Robert Pottle Robert Pottle's presentation and style were wonderful. He had the children engaged and laughing with his enthusiasm and animation. All kids and teachers can relate to his poems. Jackie Boothby - Second Grade Teacher, Ella Lewis School My kindergarten children really enjoyed Mr. Pottle's visit to our school. His funny rhyming poetry is something we share everyday. It's wonderful how one author can really get kids fired up. They've all decided to be poets when they grow up! Joy Rancourt, Kindergarten Teacher, Leroy H. Smith School Robert Pottle is an entertaining and informative speaker. The love of his craft and knowledge of the writing process are amply apparent. A real pleasure to have him in the classroom and school. Scott A. Johnson - Seventh Grade teacher, Eastport Elementary School Mr. Pottle's presentation was joyous! He brought poetry to life for my students. It is important that first graders see that authors are real people and not just another picture in their story books. Mr. Pottle's presentation was so alive and real one of my students wanted to finish a "book" he was writing so he could sit in "the teacher's chair" and read it like Mr. Pottle did. The first graders chatted about Mr. Pottle, his poems, and personal experiences the poems reminded them of, long after he was gone. Joanne Beal - First Grade Teacher, Ella Lewis School No Foolin' His April first visit was such a blast! We wanted his visit to last and last. His poems and hats we found quite funny; We giggled a lot and had a sore tummy Mrs. Yeaton and her Third Grade Class - Cape Cod Hill School Being a teacher himself, Robert Pottle certainly knows how to hold the attention of his audience (the kids). He makes poetry understandable and fun for "kids" of all ages. My students were all ready to participate and "act out" a poem during the workshop session by grade level. Steven F Douglas, Grade 5 Teacher, Leroy H. Smith School Mr. Pottle was very engaging for all classes from K - 6. He presented wonderful poetry for sharing and then in separate workshops was able to show students how a poem was thought of, worked through and developed. He was inspiring to students and teachers alike! Myrna J. Robinson - Writing Teacher, Grades 4, 5, and 6, Cape Cod Hill School Robert Pottle presented his poetry in a lively and entertaining manner. His poems were well-suited for all ages, from kindergarteners to teachers in our school. We would be happy to have him come back. Darlene Dowling - Ella Lewis School
