Poetry Shmoetry!
The suns out, the
weather is beautiful, and everyone wants to be outside! The kids (and teachers) are ready for summer,
but we still have 7 weeks of school to go.
Their active bodies and short attention spans need more meaningful
lessons than ever, so I've got to keep them engaged and focused! For the
past two weeks my students spent lots of time writing different types of poetry... they
loved getting to be little poets every single day, and I loved reading their
individual poetry!
Selfie Poems- The students wrote poems
about their accomplishments in 2nd grade.
The Best Part of Me- The students wrote freestyle poems about
their favorite body part.
Haiku Poems-
The students wrote Haiku poems about spring flowers.
Found Poems-
The students created poems out of words or phrases they found in
magazines and newspapers.
I love the found poem idea. I'm going to have to steal that idea!
