To celebrate poetry month we read Spring themed poetry and created a mashup of collage, found poetry and shape poems. For first and second grade classes, students brainstormed spring words and I printed them out to cut and paste in whatever way appealed to them. Older grades did the same with the addition of weeded book pages to collage. Reading and sharing our mashups helped us get in the mood for spring and warm up for our Poem in Your Pocket Day at the end of the month!
I’ve updated my previous polar bear room with new books and craft options. We read Polar Bear Night and created a cozy cave to read with flashlights to celebrate! Pajama Day is also a nice addition while we read about polar bears! One of the favorite maker activities from the room below was painting polar bears with forks.
It’s almost Penguin Awareness Day (1.20) so we celebrated with a read aloud or two and a digital library. We also made some penguins using resources I added in the bitroom below. Message me via thebiggreenbookshelf@gmail.com for a google copy you can edit or use the published link!
