It is thrilling to hear your kids singing. Today, we continued to explore poetic devices. We are using Beyonce's song, Brown Skinned Girl to help us learn more about rhythm, simile, metaphor and imagery. I hope that kids are realizing that poetry is everywhere, and is very much a part of their lives.
