Our kindergarteners are using little furry friends as inspiration for writing list poems this week. As they came into the library today, I handed each one a stuffed animal and a blank poetry paper. We talked about adjectives and ‘describing” words and within a few minutes each student was writing a poem about their furry friend. There are no minimal age limits to being a poet.
Dear Mrs Hembree,
What a wonderful way to get the imagination going as well in poetry form. I do enjoy reading poetry but sadly with work and busy lifestyle I don’t seem to get much time.
I bet you had some wonderful young poetry writing about their furry friends.
The last time I wrote in a form of a poem was when I was in primary school.
Mmmm you got me thinking maybe it’s time to write a poem.
Sincerely,
AA 🙂
