poetry kids in the garden
poetry writing in the garden
worked with the summer campers to awaken their senses in the garden. Each child created a garden collage and a poem to express their personal experiences as they walked through the garden. Below are students and teachers hard at work. This will be a two part entry. Their final work is so wonderful, its own blog space will follow in the next entry.
Here are Jeanette and Verandah simultaneously teaching children to express their ideas in two integrated lessons.
