This month's poetry basket is about Spring. I just love the poem and I was excited to be able to find lots of tactile elements to accompany it. (Whoops! I see I forgot to photograph the snake.)These baskets have been a huge hit in our classroom. It gives me such joy to see James take an interest in poetry, something I've secretly loved for a long time.

We used this same poem in March! G liked it but not as much as the snow poem (because he loved dropping cotton balls on his head.)
We do "poetry baskets" too each week and I had to laugh about your lincoln log. Isn't it funny how creative we get when trying to find hands-on representations for things? Thank you for sharing. I love your blog!
We are using the same poem for Spring in our classroom! The kids absolutely love it...Do you have any plans for a Summer poem? Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas! Sasha
On a whim, I decided to put out your March poetry basket. Aside from reading some Shel Silverstein, my son didn't know much about poetry (he's 4). I was skeptical...
HE LOVED IT! I love listening to him recited the entire poem (with the help of all the accompaniments, of course).
I have been waiting to see what you'd come up with for April and would be ever so thankful if you did share the pdf!!!
Thanks for such a fun way to introduce the littles to something new!
I linked to your page of poetry baskets from http://punkindoodledandy.blogspot.com/2011/07/homeschool-day-1.html
Thanks for the idea! I love this added component of our lessons!
I've really enjoyed your poetry baskets, Mari-Ann! I featured your April poetry basket photo and post in my Montessori-Inspired Poetry Activities at http://livingmontessorinow.com/2012/04/24/montessori-inspired-poetry-activities/
