Making Poet Tree

Explore 3 types of poetry with trees as inspiration!

Trees will be our inspiration in this poetry series! We will discuss the qualities of trees and what they mean to us. Kids will be encouraged to spend some time outside observing favourite trees and recording their observations through words or drawings. Then we’ll learn about, write and (optionally) share three types of poetry: an Acrostic Poem, a Shape Poem and a Haiku.

Trisha Wilson Learn more about me

If I had to pick a quote to live by, it would be, “To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the ideal mental condition” by John Dewey, a renowned psychologist and philosopher. These words inspire me everyday to make learning fun, engaging and meaningful. With my communications degree, BC teaching certification and an advanced certificate in inclusive education, I’ve had the privilege of teaching learners of all ages—from kindergartners to adults—in diverse subjects such as mindfulness, STEAM, entrepreneurship, and marketing. In any topic and all ages, my goal is to support each learner in becoming the best version of themselves. When I’m not guiding activities on HomeLearners Network, you’ll often find me outdoors, tossing a frisbee, stick, or ball for my energetic dog, Frieda.
