A Poem for Every Day of the Year

Product Information

I won’t say I’ve became a poem lover overnight, but this was a great stepping stone into a world previously unknown.

Below are examples of some of the poems that I particularly liked and how I would use them in a classroom; This is a book I would definitely have in my classroom. I could see this being used as a nice, peaceful way to start the school day. I think it presents a lovely opportunity to bring the class together and create a ‘poetry environment’ and ultimately spark a child’s interest in poetry. The book captures the complexity and diversity of nature very well and as we move through it, we are made aware of the changing seasons and a variety of living things. I believe this poetry book could be used for a variety of topics/lessons, for example:The first one was very hit-or-miss due to the selection of poems, the second one was a history book (non-fiction), and this year I read this.

That’s a pretty good mix in my opinion. Poetry stays with you for life and I'm sure there is a poem here for everyone - lines that will never leave you nor your family. The perfect bedside book for dipping into night after night. Carousel
