Our Passion for Poetry Continues!

As we learn about the various types of poetry out there, we are also taking the time to find our inner poet.  The energy in our room is fantastic when they are working on their poems.  They chat, laugh, exchange ideas and work together.  It’s a wonderful scene.  Our subject for Friday was Valentine’s Day.  I am continuing to encourage them to SHARE their work in front of their peers…sharing can be scary, but our classroom is a safe place to start!  They get SO much from sharing their poems with others.  YahoOOoO!  Our goal:  EVERYONE SHARING!   J  Our Autobiographical poems will be finished when we get back from break.  I’m learning new things about your fab kids reading their work!
