Everything you need to create a weekly poetry folder for your kiddos!
Poetry Notebook
I give my kiddos a Poetry Notebook at the beginnging of every school year.
Sometimes it’s just a folder with prongs and sometimes I use a small binder. I’ve included
several different covers in this pack.
Every week we add 1 or 2 poems to it. I often focus on holidays, seasons, current topics
we’re learning about or I will use word family or sight word poems. I try to use a variety!
As soon as my kiddos get a new poem, we write the title on the Table of Contents
page and we number each poem. This makes it easier to find them when we go back and
read old ones. We put the Table of Contents in the very front before the poems. I would make several copies so you don’t have to add
pages later.
I also send my poetry notebooks home every Friday. Every weekend, my parents sign the
Poetry Log if their kiddo reads ANY poems. I leave the Poetry Log in the front pocket of the folder or binder so it’s easy to check. I don’t care if they read one or all of the poems! I usually give some kind of small
reward for reading over the weekend.
They love their poetry notebooks and don’t see it as homework, but I try to make a big
deal out of it.
I just want them to WANT to read!
Enjoy!!
