I’m also looking for some suggestions on ways to explain or define the idea of “poetry” or “poems” to preschoolers. We have read poetry together, and I have identified it as such, but I don’t think that they get it. The 4s and 5s are beginning to catch on to rhyming, but of course, not everything that rhymes is a poem and vice-versa. How have other teachers here introduced Poetry to your kiddos? Do you think they just innately catch on by being immersed in it?
This is such a great question. I will make sure I write a post about it and add it to the Facebook page.
The playgrounds are finally snow-free, and we are looking forward to finally being able to spend some quality time outdoors! In addition, our program is sending classrooms to participate in a local offering where their nature educators are going to lead the kids in some activities around “Looking for Spring.” We are going on April 4th; this may be our class’ first opportunity to see What’s Under a Log. I’ll let you know what we find. I asked my little guys what they thought they might find if they looked under a log, but most of them do not have any experience with the idea, so there weren’t a lot of satisfactory responses. Several of them were hoping for dinosaurs… and the rest kept referencing the animals from The Mitten. (We just finished a week-long compare and contrast of multiple versions of The Mitten and similar stories, including the Jan Brett and Alvin Tresselt versions, as well as a book called The Elf’s Hat with amusing illustrations.)
My favorite poem is Nature’s First Green is gold by Robert Frost.
I think this will be really easy to get children to create poems using these examples.
If you create any new poems with your kids…please post. I took a stab at it and it was fun.
