What is your favorite Poem to Teach Mrs. Koetje?
My favorite poem to capture the hearts of my third grade friends is Shel Silverstein's poem: Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too! The Rhyme and Rhythm are so fun for kids to clap along and say together.
How is Poetry used in your classroom?
Poetry is used in my classroom as a way to explore the English language and its conventions. We really take a look at figurative language and the tool box for literary devices.
What is the tool box for literary devices?
I find the poetry is written using two separate types of craft: Music and Meaning. We go through poems with these examples and work on understanding different types of craft.
