Publishing Poetry


Last week, we had our second "Publishing Night" of the year.  For our first Publishing Night, we shared our Personal Narratives in the classroom.  For this one, we decided to set up the hallway to showcase our class poetry.


We used the bulletin board and walls to display the kiddos' individual poems.  Then we set up tables with our primary Mentor Texts and favorite poetry books.  Instead of having families leave notes on post-its for our authors, we invited visitors to put notes to our poets inside a box. (The next day, we shared all of the notes as a class which the kiddos loved.)

We happened to have some fresh flowers and fun flower pens to add to our "Blooming Poets" theme!  Everyone seemed to really enjoy the event.
