Today’s featured book is Joyce Sidman’s Song of the Water Boatman.
I love how she blends poetry with facts. This collection is one of my favorites.
Classroom Activity: “The Season’s Campaign” is a poem that covers the life cycle of a cattail–told through the four different seasons. Have students write their own life cycle poem about a plant or an insect. Using the four seasons of the year might be a fun way to structure it.
