Poetry Teatime (a la Brave Writer) is one of Aidyn's favorite homeschool activities. He lovingly demands it every week, and I try my best to scrape something together. This week, I actually had a spare moment to plan something (!), so we had an adjective-themed poetry teatime.
Easy table set up with books, drinks, apple slices, candles, and an assortment of colorful adjectives.
