I got the idea from Julie Bogart, of Bravewriter (a writing program for homeschoolers). She's launched a new website just today, explaining poetry teatime.
We do ours on Monday afternoons. But I recently threw in a surprise extra one to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, which you can see here--the kids loved it!
edited to add: re-reading, I realize this sounds like an ad. It's not! I'm just so thrilled with our new routine, and thought others might want to try, too. Though Bravewriter does sell products, poetry teatime is not a product--it's something anyone can do for free. I am not affiliated with Bravewriter, just a fan.
Oh my! That is one of THE cutest idea's I've seen lately!!!
How adorable! What a neat way for the kids to take interest in poetry and I bet even your little gentlemen look forward to Monday tea time!
