Grades PreK-1

Poetry Labs—Let’s create together!

You select the students (up to 24 students max with a minimum of 1 teacher present) for this special creative writing time. I will lead the craft-focused poetry lab experience.

  • This is an interactive exploration of grade-accessible poetic forms.
  • Lab time is structured to include a variety of author presentation, hands-on work with words and basic poetic structures, as well as a time to share and celebrate student poetry.

Yes! I would like to schedule a PreK, K, or 1st grade poetry lab at my school.
