This week ,the class was about the types of poem, for the introductory activities, we recited and sang nursery rhymes. We were asked to express our feelings and what we knew about poems. I dislike poetry because, of my past experiences with poetry. But after this lesson ,I realized I always like poetry but in a different form because, I love our local calypso. Limerick are rather interesting,and I love it so much for my Math lesson I used one. My cooperating teacher was very pleased by the use of poetry, the children were very attentive and understood the lesson easily. Poetry can be used across the curriculum, one other type of poem we learnt about was a Cinquain. The lecturer asked us to form groups of two, where we had to create our own Cinquain. This was Mearline and my outstanding creation which we performed for our colleagues.
Pigs
Nasty, Smelly
Digging, running, rolling
Uses its hooves to dig the dirt
Scavengers
My lesson was on the number ten (10) and this was the limerick I use
I have ten fingers,
I have ten toes,
I will always have ten,
No matter big I grow.
Ten, ten, ten, ten,
Ten fingers and toes,
Ten, ten, ten, ten,
No matter how big I grow.

Yes I will agree with you and to add I must say the class was very informative.
ReplyDeletePoems can be integrated into the different content areas as it provides content to students in a more entertaining and interesting way. It promotes active and meaningful learning. I am quite happy that you have incooperated poems in the teaching of mathematics. It shows that you are providing your students with different learning experiences. Furthermore, I really do enjoy literacy sessions as there is never a dull moment when Ms. Polius is teaching. She provides quality instruction which exemplifies good teaching practices. This sessions will provide many implications for our literacy classroom. Great job triple'M'.

You are so correct, the use of poems in the different content areas will have students actively involve. I feel this will help students to understand the concepts from the lesson. Students will bw able to visualise what will be taught through reciting, singing and dancing.
