We just began our poetry journey in Kindergarten and my students are more excited than I could have hoped. I can't wait to tell them about The Poem Farm.

I like Eric B's response to your question about poetry. "You get to mess around with your words." That's my favorite part, too...after you've written the first draft and get to play and play until you get it just right...Kerry Aradhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099941502319174759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-64010748474785716892011-06-17T23:25:30.084-04:002011-06-17T23:25:30.084-04:00I've already cut and pasted this post into my ...I've already cut and pasted this post into my lesson plans for next year - I find my kids are drawn to the silly poems, too, and they'll be tickled by the student poems.

Seth is so right: "You write a poem and then you're stuck for a minute and you have to sit and think." Each poem is terrific; I particularly love Rosie's "The Sun Comes Out." Congratulations to these fine young poets!Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-61049079558824660772011-06-17T14:00:25.242-04:002011-06-17T14:00:25.242-04:00You know I love this, and the first thing that I w...You know I love this, and the first thing that I will do in my new K classroom is plant our PoetTree!<br /><br />Your tutu ballerina poem is so perfectly preschool...have you also a collection of these gems, Amy? : )Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.com
