Poetry Packet
Yay! Poetry! This is my favorite unit by far! Getting to read and write poetry brings out ideas and creativity that can be hidden inside the kids! Poetry brings out emotion-filled and fun-filled writing that some of our other units don't allow for. I am looking forward, greatly, to the great pieces of poetry that the kids produce and share!
