A Daily Dose of Poetry

Daily poetry reading has brought many different kinds of poems into our reading workshop. After reading poems independently we share some of our favorites out loud. In addition the students are playing a poetry Bingo, finding certain types of poems or peoms about a specific topic. We already have some corner and diagonal game winners. No full Bingo yet. 


Jack Prelutsky is one poet whose humorous writings have entertained us. I have read to the students how Jack Prelutsky finds ideas for his poems.

Reading poetry goes hand in hand wit writing poetry. 
We have gathered some ideas and experimented with different forms.
On Monday we tried writing letter peoms to a story character.
Today we gave a try to shape poems.
