I'm excited to report that the latest installment of The Poetry Friday Anthology is out-- and it's SCIENCE focused! ALL the 200+ poems are science-themed and once again we provide Take 5! mini-lessons for every poem to help teachers, librarians, and parents share the poems with children (grades K-5) while building science knowledge AND literacy.
We have 218 poems by 78 poets!
We offer a poem-a-week for Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade (for Poetry Friday or ANY day).
Every poem has a 5-step (Take 5!) mini-lesson with connections to the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
For the first time, we're also publishing Student Editions with just the poems (no mini-lessons) for children-- accompanied by fun black-and-white sketches.
I'll be posting more about this new book throughout the month, but for now I'm thrilled to say, "It's OUT!" To get your copy, go to PomeloBooks.com.
Your books have been so wonderful, and helpful, to me in sharing with all the different teachers with whom I work. Can't wait to see this newest one! I know it will be more good poetry! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of what we've done here--doubly--or sextuply (will that get me bounced?)--because of the Student Editions. Teachers can now lead a "Take 5!" mini-lesson while students follow along in their own (ILLUSTRATED) books. You had a vision, Dr. Vardell, of Natalie Babbitt-type art, and I think we succeeded!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about these illustrated student editions - what a brilliant idea. Can you give us a sneak preview of an illustration or two?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another launch, Sylvia and Janet!
The student editions are such a wonderful addition!
