I originally wrote my lesson to be implemented with fourth
graders. But, since I do not have my own classroom yet, I used a kindergartner
instead. We went on a hike on Tubbs Hill after we had discussed poems and
nature. We found a nice spot to have a snack and rest while discussing what our
senses were experiencing. We did not take notes like I had mentioned in my plan,
so we wrote a poem as soon as we got back. She chose to write an acrostic poem.
We both had so much fun with this and now she is writing acrostic poems for
various words, using her own vocabulary as well as the dictionary.
That sounds like a lot of fun! I bet that your kindergartner enjoyed doing it as well. Having students learning about poetry at a young age is a great idea (and getting kids outside). Happy to hear she is writing poems for fun now! :)
