We have been reading and writing poetry the past few weeks. For my lessons I draw from resources such as Regie Routman's Kids' Poems: Teaching First Graders to Love Writing Poetry (I love her emphasis on reading and talking about poetry by children) and Lucy Calkins and Stephanie Parson's Poetry: Powerful Thought in Tiny Packages, which is part of Units of Study for Primary Writing: A Yearlong Curriculum. I also have lessons of my own that I have developed over the years.
It is an exciting time as we explore this very different way of looking at and writing about the world.

Thoughts about teaching writing as well as reading, while using the Writing Workshop Model in a classroom of six to eight year olds. I usually work with a group of our younger students in language activities.
