DescriptionExplore poetry from different poets such as classics like Dickinson, Carroll, and Silverstein, as well as more contemporary poets like Nikki Giovanni and others. Kids will learn how to use their Poet's Eyes to view the world and find inspiration to not just write but also read like a poet. It will be a generative class, where kids will have notebooks they decorate to claim as their own and write in. We will take weekly field trips to different nature spots around the city and write about our experiences there. Students will learn how to package big thoughts and feelings into small moments.
