Welcome to Litsy!

It's raining pigs and noodles,
it's pouring frogs and hats

I think this would be fun to use when teaching a poetry lesson to inspire kids, because I think they would relate and pay a lot of attention to this humor.

This is another book of small poems and stories that are funny and creative. The author uses words in ways that are creative and funny for adults and children.

This AMAZING P book written by Jack Prelutsky is FULL of poetry for elementary aged children! Filled with exciting, witty, and humorous poetry, once you read one poem, you‘ll want more and more! #ucflae3414su20

This P book is great for a RA in the classroom. This book has many silly poems that would interest the students and it even has a great variety of poems. My personal favorite was Deep In Our Refrigerator which talked about the food that you leave and let get all moldy because you don't want to throw it away which I can relate to.

It‘s Raining Pigs and Noodles Poetry/ RA book by Jack Prelutsky is a book of poems that will get students excited and engaged about poems. UDL 3.1 - Activate or supply background knowledge is a great way to check students comprehension of poems prior to teaching a lesson on it. ESOL 10 using think, pair, and share. This will allow students to talk to each other about types of poems that they may have heard of before, or know of. #UCFLAE3414SP20

This was a fun and comedic poetry book that was easy to follow and had entertaining images that enhanced the meaning of the words. The rhymes really added to the tone of the poems and kept them silly which children would love.

I would use this in my classroom because the silly nature of the book would keep kids engaged for sure.

“It‘s raining pigs and noodles, it‘s pouring frogs and hats.”

“It‘s raining pigs and noodles, it‘s pouring frogs and hats.”

I would use this in my classroom as a fun way for students to learn poetry. The students will love the humor.

This poetry collection is very funny and the comedy will have the students laughing and engaged throughout the poems. Children will be able to relate to some of these poems allowing them to have a better grasp on them and enjoy them more.

“It‘s raining pigs and noodles, it‘s pouring frogs and hats.”

I would use this in a younger classroom setting to introduce young children to poetry and rhyming.

This poetry book is a great way to introduce children to poetry. The use of rhyming throughout helps children follow along. The rhyming pattern is very simple so it is suitable for a younger crowd. This book is very playful and filled with poems that are both silly and engaging!

This poem uses the AA BB rhyme scheme and it has a very natural sounding flow throughout the stanzas. It also uses personification when talking about bunnies driving buses.

I think this book, especially this poem specifically, would be helpful in a classroom. It has examples of simple rhymes that can help introduce children to poetry and rhyme.

This book is entertaining and silly. I‘m sure young children would spend tons of time reading this.

The language is fun and engaging. The jokes keep kids entertained. The topics of the poems are new and unique and so fun.

“I like this so much better than when it‘s raining rain.”

It‘s raining pigs and noodles, it‘s pouring frogs and hats, chrysanthemums and poodles, bananas, brooms, and cats.

This poetry book seems like nonsense at first glance. But it‘s nonsense that kids will love and allow them to dip their toes into poetry.

This would be perfect to start younger kids off with! Or even children who are older that have been turned off from poetry or can‘t find anything they like or have a hard time understanding it. These poems are super silly and may even inspire some kids.

Sometimes you need to feed the kid-poet inside you. #friend #poetrymatters @LazyDays

After Sonnet 29 last time, I went easy on 4th grade for #PoetryWednesday

We‘ve all had these kinds of days......😹

Taking it easy with 4th grade for #PoetryWednesday I try to balance out the heavy and the light. Part of the point is that poetry can be anything you want it to be.
