Welcome to Poetry Friday! This week's round up is hosted by Amy Ludwig Vanderwater at The Poem Farm. Be sure to click over to enjoy all of this week's poetry goodness.
I'm using today's post to introduce a new joint venture spearheaded by poet, Heidi Bee Roemer: S.T.E.A.M. Powered Poetry Vlog. Here is an overview from Heidi:
Across the curriculum, “S.T.E.A.M. Powered Poetry Videos for Pk-8” promotes poetry in the classroom using multiple methods and strategies. In addition to kid-friendly poetry videos, this vlog features crafts, classroom activities, and reference lists for related children’s books that offer additional information on each poem’s subject.
I believe that poetry can be easily integrated into the classroom and used to enhance learning at all grade levels. The goal of my vlog is to provide teachers with educational resources, motivate students to become excited about reading and writing poetry, and to promote children’s authors and the books they create.
Our goal is to post two new videos along with theme related books and activities every month. We hope you'll visit and share this resource in your classrooms and with your teachers and poetry-loving friends.
This week's video is titled, "Star Gazers." Enjoy!
