love is - line breaks Originally uploaded by teachergal One of my students experimented with other genres this week, one of which was poetry. She wrote a gorgeous poem about what love is in her notebook. At first, I thought, What does a nine year-old know about love? But then, after reading it a [...]

LINE BREAKS!!!!! So important and so mystifying for kids who are just starting to write poetry. They see them all the time, they know what they are, but they don’t use them when they’re drafting! I found “You can break a line” mini cards I gave my very first class a few years ago. [...]

My friend Sally asked me to read her new book, Baby Monster, to my toyroom friends today. I did, and they loved it. What’s different about Baby Monster from any other book I’ve ever read to my buddies is that this one is an ebook. That’s right – an electronic book. So, instead of holding the book and turning pages, the words and illustrations appear on the computer screen and I need to click to ‘flip’ the electronic pages. The novelty of the format was a big hit, and long after I’d finished reading aloud there were delighted clicks and ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ and (of course) giggles, coming from the little group gathered around the toyroom computer.
Oh, I should say that they loved the story, and the gorgeous illustrations. as much as the novelty of the format. Baby monster is new toyroom favourite.
