WELCOME, SPRING 2010 Students!

Dear Children's Literature Readers!

We are in for an exciting and fast-paced semester as we collaborate with Heights Middle School on a poetry practicum project.

We will jump right into our practicum project with a visit from Maxime the French Chef, on our first session, January 25.

Please post your reflections of our first class session  by clicking on the words: Post Comment below.

Our Children's Literature Class Collection is available at

Thank you, Frances

I think the first day went well.  We got to unofficially meet the students and get a chance to see where the classrooms are located.  I think Maxime the French chef made some of the students uncomfortable at first but they all seemed to find it funny.  This will be an excellent ice breaker to begin work with the students next time we meet.  I am excited to see what the semester brings and I think things are going to be challenging but good.

Things are going well at heights middle school. I have enjoyed getting to know the students and work with them in small groups. I feel this will be a great way to find out what they know and where the strength and weaknesses in poetry are. When Ryan and Kristi acted out the poem to Ms Evans class it was exciting to see the children become engaged. I was surprised when two of the students wanted to recite the poem  to the class. It felt it gave meaning to what we are doing.
