#7 Follow Up

I have been following up the poetry aspect of this lesson by making Acrostic poems with my kindergartner. We did use different words that related to nature and played with coming up with new words for each letter. But for the poetry, we used our names to create a new poem, because we had so much fun doing this lesson.
I did however, have her just write in her journal about her experience in nature. She did use her senses as sort of a checklist and way to keep track of her thoughts. Afterward, she drew pictures of her experience.
I think that any type of extension, whether it be creating a different type of poem out of the nature experience, or just writing about the experience would be a good follow up for students to create the love for nature and write about it.  Of course, I think that they should all share with each other, their wonderful work.
