I found an on-line homeschool site, Brave Writer, that promotes Poetry Teatime each Tuesday. This has become a highlight of our week!! So far we've done it for three weeks (I don't have a picture of the second week). Tuesday morning we bake (or buy) a special treat. We've made chocolate chip cookies, lemon sugar cookies & cinnamon rolls. We then make some tea, light a candle and enjoy a nice time of chatting, eating & reading some poems. So far I've printed out poems and we've colored them in, we are planning on putting together a binder with the poems....making our own poetry book! The first week we read & colored poems about Autumn; the second week I read some animal poems from an Eric Carle book; this week we read some wind poems.
Marie-Therese has seemed to really enjoy this time (me too!) baking, tea, some art time & read a-loud. It's a great tradition that we all are enjoying!
