Poetry Playtime- Ideas for the Elementary Educator

Ready to shake up your elementary classroom writing routine? Join award-winning teacher and poet Kiki May Healey for an inspiring session that proves poetry is for everyone—whether you adore it, avoid it, or aren’t sure what to think! Together, we’ll dive into poetry as a playful, creative doorway into powerful student writing. Forget the stiff haikus (too tricky) and corny limericks (save those for family weddings). Instead, Kiki will share accessible, year-round strategies that bring poetry to life, helping students tap into their voices and build lasting confidence as writers. Bring home lesson plans for Monday!
