Hey Nellie,
I’ve just received my class list for fall, and I have 17 TK boys! Last year I was very successful with the Poetry Binder, however my students were split half boys, half girls. Now I’m wondering how the high boy population will respond to “poetry”. Any thoughts that might calm my heart? I can’t imagine not using the Poetry Binder, it was the highlight of our end of the year celebration. Instead of the usual graduation celebration, we hosted a “Poetry Cafe”. We did a short presentation, then students invited their parents to the “cafe” so we could read to them from our binders, it was priceless. With a high boy population, do you think I can still pull this off? Should I adjust the poetry choices to engage the boys? I would love to know your thoughts….
Kim
