Good product. Some of the poems were creative, some were more common. It was nice to have something else to use besides the usual nursery rhymes for my poetry unit. Thanks!

Lots of great ideas for poetry.

I'm so glad you think so. I'm also glad you have a poetry station. There is so much potential for learning in poetry, aside from the rhyme scheme, etc. You may want to read my blog, itsabouttimeteachers.blogspot.com. I'm a "poet-tree nut" and often blog about using poetry in the classroom for skill lessons and reading instruction.

I focus on poetry a lot. You may want to check out my blog as I discuss using poetry in the classroom quite often. There are also freebies and center ideas. Hope you find some ideas to help you focus more on poetry.

So glad you are putting more focus on poetry. It has such potential, and in my opinion, is grossly under used. Then again I'm a "poet-tree nut!"

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Grades Taught:
Subject Area:
For more than 3 decades, I have taught everything from K to 5, G/T to Reading Recovery, and enrichment to Title I. It was my privilege to develop & co-author a district model for gifted/talented education for 2 districts and to develop & implement a system for mentoring young gifted children with experts in their areas of interest. As an education specialist at the U of IL, I developed differentiated curriculum and evaluation tools for gifted students and lectured graduate classes in G/T. Additionally, I have guest lectured at the local community college and IL State Univ. Reading Recovery training, while rigorous and demanding, has improved every aspect of my teaching. The training has made me a better observer and problem solver. The richness of my experiences allows me to be a versatile and expansive developer of curricula.
