What is Poetry Teatime?

Have you ever hit a wall in your homeschool? Not literally, figuratively. You feel exhausted, you dislike what you are learning/teaching, basically, you are in a rut. Poetry Teatime helps you grab a breath of fresh air and you can do it as often as you like! Poetry Teatime breathes life back into our homeschool when we have hit that figurative wall. It is something both of my kids ask for regularly and it doesn’t have to be crazy or overwhelming. Really! It doesn’t.

Poetry Teatime is a celebration

Poetry Teatime is a celebration of language and it takes little effort to get your kids excited. Grab a snack and their favorite beverage, ransack your shelves or local library for poetry, throw it on the table or if you had an extra cup of tea or coffee make it fancy! Don’t OVERTHINK it! Have your children browse the books, read poems they like a loud, choose your own and read to them, snack, drink, talk, build a bond around amazing literature! It is that easy and I tell you it is truly MAGICAL!
