What is the Poem Pocket Craft?
⌄
Three pages after the cover. Page 1 shows 4 picture steps, the 4-line poem My Pocket Poem on a card to cut out, and a key that matches yellow, blue, red and green to happy, calm, excited and proud. Page 2 is the pocket to color, cut, fold and glue. Page 3 has stars, hearts, suns and clouds to color in feeling colors and glue on.
Can I use the Poem Pocket Craft at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade Poetry Month resources are there?
⌄
2 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 47 Poetry Month resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our Poetry Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Poetry Month resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Poetry Month resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
