I’m so excited, because April is HERE!
It’s my favorite month because…
1. spring break (duh)
2. my birthday 💁🏼
3. NATIONAL POETRY MONTH!
I love using poetry books to teach my students poetry.
I recently updated my poetry books to meet the needs of my third grade classroom:
Use this book as a tool to teach your students poetry!
Types of poems included:
- acrostic
- bio
- shape
- 5 senses
- haiku
- personification
- cinquain
- diamante (synonym and antonym)
This product includes an example, a scaffolded prompt (You Try It!), and a blank space (Write Your Own) for EACH type of poem.
You can print 8.5 x 11 size books, or choose the format suitable for the mini books found in the Target Dollar Spot – sooo cute!

After your students write their own poetry, try having a poetry slam in your classroom as a culminating celebration event! Dim the lights, bring some snacks, and TA DA… instant engagement!
You can read about my poetry café here.
Don’t forget to tag me on Insta and Twitter so I can see the amazing things you’re doing with poetry!
