I ran out of polka dot duct tape in the middle of making my big baggie quilt, so I got around to one of the projects that has been on my list for a while.
Magnetic Poetry Kits
I got his wonderful FREEBIE from Jen Runde over at Runde's Room.
I wanted to have a way to use it during Reader's/Writer's Workshop.
I had these containers from another project I wanted to do, but never finished
Got 'em at WalMart (cheap.)
Made labels for the tops of the containers (I have 3 sets.)
I will laminate these before I stick them to the containers, but my laminator is at school.
Then I made a cover for the Magnetic Poetry Notebook
where we can keep copies of the poems that the
students create.
Click here to download a copy of the labels.
I also want to create a collaborative poetry area
using an oil pan that I bought at WalMart where kids
can work together to create poems that can
be added to and melded as the kids work on it.
I am still working on how this is going to look
and will post a pic when I finish it.
I also worked on individual white boards, a project from Classroom DYI.
If you missed it, you can see them here.
So what have you been up to?
These are great ideas!!! Thanks for sharing and linking up:) I'm gonna have to check out that poetry link:) I love that idea for Work on Writing:))

The magnetic poetry is too cute. Then you can really hone in on the words that you would like your students to use too! Great idea! I am your newest follower, found ya over at the linky!

I could not find the link to the words and poems...is that what you got from the other site? I would love to do this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKelly,
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to Jen's post about the Poetry kits. http://goo.gl/yvYMG
I see the possibilities of the magnetic word kit for soooo much (including poetry). I'm thinking students could take a basic sentence (printed in one color) and add modifiers and phrases to stretch it. Oh, the wheels are turning over here.....
ReplyDeleteThanks (I think!) =)
