Queen Zee’s Poetic Adventures
Launch Party
Join the Chicago Poetry Center as we celebrate the launch of Queen Zee’s Poetic Adventures, CPC’s new education program. Inspired by classic children’s television, this five-episode video series takes viewers to a magical world of joyful, engaging poetry lessons for kids. Designed for students in 2nd-5th grades, this free, no-prep resource is ELA and SEL-focused, aligned with Common Core standards, and best of all, fun!
You’re invited to an evening of food, drinks, and giveaways as we preview an episode and explain how to make the most of the teacher guides and student worksheets.
When: Tuesday October 25 – Doors (and food) at 4:30 pm; event begins at 5 pm
Where: Haymarket House at 800 W. Buena Ave.
All teachers and school administrators who attend will be eligible to win one of two prizes:
