Do you have poems swirling in your head?\u00a0 Do you have one poem memorized that you share every day with someone new in the library?\u00a0\u00a0 Do you dress up during poetry month?\u00a0 Have you created a poetree display? There are so many amazing fun things to do during poetry month!\u00a0 This year, I switched up my school visits<\/a> a bit and added a poetry timeline. The poetry timeline works great with 1st<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup>, and 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0graders.<\/p>\n

Below are two options for adding poems to your timeline-Movement: Day 1 and Historical Events.<\/p>\n

Historical Events Poetry Timeline:<\/strong> Before your school visit, create your poetry timeline on a huge piece of colorful paper using makers or paint. Select a series of interactive poems that match up with a specific date. For example,\u00a0Velcro<\/a>\u00a0by Maria Fleming <\/a>invented in 1955. Start with a really really early date and end with 2016.\u00a0 Add between 7-12 poems with a variety of dates. (This will change depending on your school group size\u00a0and how much time you have.)<\/p>\n

Day 1 Poetry Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hold your school visit either in the classroom or wing\/meeting space, use a white board or bring in big pieces of butcher paper.\u00a0 Have the classroom or group select a day-Day 1, Day 22, Day 245, or Day 6,780. Have fun selecting the number. \u00a0Let’s start with Day 1.\u00a0 Have the teacher assist with writing the poems on the timeline after you read them.\u00a0 Students will select (yell out) where the poem will go and what time of day the poem should happen. For example, after reading the poem “A Smoothie Supreme,” students might select the poem to start at 6pm.\u00a0 Write the poem and time on your timeline-6pm A Smoothie Supreme by Deborah Ruddell.<\/a>\u00a0 After-this is the best part! – read together and act out each motion-Slither, Run, Crunch, Flap, Slurp, Aaaaa (roller coaster noises while pretending to ride a roller coaster up, down and around.) Hooray, yells the group together.<\/p>\n

Tell your group the name of the poem again and remind them what the action is that matches up with each poem and book.\u00a0 This is a great way to introduce new poets like Deborah Ruddell<\/a>, Julie Paschkis<\/a>, Bob Raczka<\/a> and more!\u00a0 The poetry timeline creates interaction and movement.\u00a0 You will be loud, be silly and be smiling.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Day 1 Poetry Timeline<\/strong>
\n8:30 a.m. – Snake by Julie Paschkis <\/a>(Slither-ssssss)
\n9:00 a.m. –The New Running Shoes by Fran Haraway<\/a> (Run!)
