I am so tempted to title all of my blog posts with a smiley face. You may thank me for holding me back, 😉 Can I help it that I love my job??

Speaking of loving my job, one of my (my, heehee!) rockstar teachers, Emily Koder, sent me some outstanding resources for Poetry Month, which is April. I remember in my classroom creating a “Poetry Packet” of all kinds of different poems that I would have my students write throughout the month. It was always so cute to see how they expressed their personality through a short lil’poem. Consider too, even if you DON’T teach ELA, allowing them to write a poem that deals with YOUR content area. How very higher level that would be…

My Luna haiku:

All smiling faces
Who enjoy their students makes
Luna fabulous!

(It’s early…put your red pens away!)

http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/acrostic/ -write an acrostic online and print it off

http://www.poetry4kids.com/ -podcasts, games, poems, authors, books…you name it!

http://www.rif.org/kids/readingplanet.htm -tons of interactive things. Go to the activity lab and look at the reading calendar. It gives teachers a fun ELA topic for every day.

http://resources.kaboose.com/games/read1.html – for younger readers, tons of educational games

http://jc-schools.net/tutorials/interact-read.htm – a list of educational websites and their descriptions

And another blogger from GISD, Angie Cheatham has some resources on her site as well. Check’em out on her classroom website. (See what other gems of greatness you can find there!)

rhymingly,

Amber
