Poet's Pantry Field Trip Trailhead Teacher's Resources Start Field Trip By Cara Bafile Poetry, with its beautiful sound and imaginative nature, is at the same time both intriguing and perplexing to students. It is essential for young children to experience some poetry while they are in elementary school so that they will become comfortable with its format and interpretation. Students who are not afforded such an opportunity can be frustrated by this type of expression, not only in understanding published poetry but also in writing their own work. What is the subject of this poem? What type of poem is this? What is the message of the poem? How does accompanying artwork enhance the presentation of a poem? , and How does the poet feel about the subject of the poem?

A wedding celebration, in fact. During the festivities, a candle was set up, and people took turns trying to jump over the candle. If you extinguished the flame, you were due for a year of bad luck, but if the candle remained lit, a year of good luck was to follow. Of course, another part of wedding celebrations was drinking alcohol, so the people who got really drunk would likely be the people stuck with the bad luck. As you can see, almost every nursery rhyme has a story behind it. Humpty Dumpty was actually King Richard III, and the famous farmer’s wife from the Three Blind Mice was supposedly Queen Mary I. Baa Baa Black Sheep was about taxation, and The Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe was referring to the British Empire trying to control its colonies. Yet children year after year recite these stories, not knowing the original joke or gossip hidden within, not really caring is Jack Sprat was King Charles I. The fake stories that we invent for the rhyme now are much more fun, anyway.

Furnishings for Care and Learning Furniture Safety When first considering how to plan a successful environment for children, you need to make sure that safety is a priority. Regularly check for sharp edges on furniture, sheets and towels are washed regularly, and tables are cleaned after meals and art activities. Providing Furniture A second consideration for furnishings, is providing enough furniture for children to eat, sleep, play, and store their belongings. If you cannot provide child-size furniture, make the current furniture suitable for the children by placing pillows in chairs to raise the children closer to the table or by using booster seats. Comfort The furnishings should not crowd the space that is being used for child care. This will give children more space and comfort to play. Make sure that the furniture is soft and plush such as pillows, beanbags, padded chairs and rockers that can be used throughout the day. Make sure the play area is well lit and the temperature is at a comfortable setting for naps and playing.
