Sorry I posted this on Thursday, but did not have the correct heading, so
posting again to see if there is some discussion out there... forgive the
amateurism :)
We are fervent- we concentrate intensively, we lose ourselves in the experience
of thought, the world disappears, and we work hard
Hi Everyone,
The discussion on chapter one has slowed down considerably. Lisa says she
will open the discussion on chapter 2 by late this evening or early
tomorrow. Hope you are reading ahead. I am. We¹ll ³up² the pace a bit
since this is such a readable book. Feel free to always reread,

Yes, poetry is in me. I seek out a daily poem from The Writers' Almanac,
save the ones that I like in a folder, print some out and post them by my
desk. My favorite poets are (not in any particular order) Stanley Kunitz,
Mary Oliver, Ted Kooser, Kim Addonizio, Billy Collins, and Kay Ryan, and
Oh I see now, June.June was right between your comment and your poem.
Think maybe I was thinking June was the title of the poem, maybe because it
had something to do with weather??? It felt something like a found poem.
Think Georgia talked about that.
Thanks for suggesting that others might

I teach first grade and I am glad I do because i think little kids
innately listen to the beat of their own hearts... which hasn't been beat out
of
them yet with patterns, conventions, and routines. Little ones respond
easily to show not tell and their kid language poignantly expresses
golden lines are a great way to sharelove this one too.

Some of my thoughts to start us off with the Introduction and Chapter 1.
Georgia mentions hearing a woman asking her husband if she has poetry inside
her.
Do you have poetry inside you? Do you

Jennifer,
What a wonderful school and wonderful wonderful story about the poetry
event. Like Wow. Wish this could happen in more places. Did you all make
videos of the event or publish informally books of the poems the kids
presented? They need to be shared with wider audiences - to spread
Speaking of finding seeds. Maybe sharing seeds of other children. Last
year I discovered Regie Routman¹s series called Kids Poems. She has ones
for K, 1, 2, and 3 I think. She shares some of her ideas for getting kids
to write poetry and to gradually start ³playing² with it as they decide on
Donna, I so totally agree. The emotional environment is the basis for all
the other wonderful things that happen. Without, it just becomes more
school work! The magic is gone. The heart is gone.

I enjoy reading poetry but I have never been able to convince myself I
could actually write something.
I enjoy doing poetry with my students (1st grade) and the time right now is
usually when we start writing out own poems. We have 5th grade buddies
that also come to help out and we often do

Soo glad you poetry is part of what you do. Have seen way to many
classrooms focused on the tests lately here in California.
So you gathered your courage and wrote a poem. Good for you! And I think
you captured perfectly the blustery, tepid weather you're having in
