This is one of my favorite lessons during poetry month! I love to hear what the children think poetry is. They are always surprised when I say there are NO writing rules and that poems can be about ANYTHING. They also thought that it was great that anyone who writes a poem gets to be called a poet.
We did this lesson right before lunch and on the way to lunch I heard them talking. I was just about to reprimand when I realized that as they were walking, they were brainstorming things that they could write poems about.
"We can write a poem about chicken nuggets!"
"We can write a poem about wood chips!"
"We can write a poem about the computer lab!"
It should be fun when we do our rythm lesson tomorrow and start writing our own poems!
They already know so much about poetry! They're going to love that unit:)
