I LOVE poetry month. Every year I find a new way to enjoy creating poetry pieces with kids. This year we are beginning in a comfortable spot- another bitmoji room. They’ve become my starting point for all kinds of work, so why not poetry? You will find the usual book read alouds here, but you will also find some google docs and slides that allow you to scaffold poetry writing and celebrations! Using a haiku doc everyone can be a haiku expert- for inspiration read Guyku from the room below! To edit this room with your own bitmoji, click on the image below and use FILE –make a copy. To see some other poetry favorites I’ve posted click the poetry tag! Happy poetry reading, writing, and celebration, friends.

december bitmoji rooms and sweater fun
I have to admit that I enjoy making winter bitmoji rooms the MOST. I mean, I actually looked forward to editing my bitmoji’s outfit for winter weather. I really need a vacation in real winter weather! Click on the image to get a copy of the google slide that you can use to make your own copy and edit. Add these to Schoology, share for extension time…whatever works for you! I also have a google drawing file you can pair with the Sweater Slide to have students practice using the shape tool to create a sweater design. Each room has links to read alouds, themed poems, drawing activities and more!



magnetic poetry twist with google slides
Everyone loves magnetic poetry sites and slides, especially the great examples Kasey Bell has shared. These inspired me to create a magnetic poetry google slide deck using a favorite book! I love the useful ‘grab text’ feature from google keep. So handy. I used it to lift the text from one page of Harry Potter book one. Then I added the converted text to slides and moved words to tiles for the random poetry activity. (I didn’t take the time to do the tiles as well as Kasey does in her tutorial). Students can make their own copy of the slides/page you’ve selected for them, or do it themselves with their current interesting read. You could add in a nonfiction text too, use this as an engaging activity to pique interest in the next read aloud… so many ideas and so little time! Even give the challenge of magnetic poetry haiku or cinquain, can’t wait to try more book pages to see what we can come up with. Google slide example with keep here.
