But, I have some criticism as of late!<br />My Library partner introduced T.E.A. Time in our library one year. The letters stand for Tutorial and Enrichment Activity in which we make tea (real tea with hot water) served in china cups with cookies to talk about their successes. Students were nominated by their classroom teachers for the opportunity to visit the library during T.E.A. Time. We've backed off on it....but what a great way to introduce a poem on say a placemat that everyone could read...or follow along to as it's read aloud. I think you must consider this idea borrowed!Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-31756758064341985142016-07-08T09:27:51.137-04:002016-07-08T09:27:51.137-04:00Aaah.... the poetry love. *sighs wistfully* Too of...Aaah.... the poetry love. *sighs wistfully* Too often it feels like the JOY of poetry is being squeezed out of our curriculum - and I think that's what I love most about #PoetryFriday - reading how everyone is squeezing it back in.
