Band Aids...

My favorite poem would have to be Shel Silverstein's poem called "Band-Aids." This poem is great. I love it because it is a funny poem that relates to children. I remember when I was little I would play doctor with my dolls. I would use all kinds of band-aids to help "fix" the doll. I remember my little dolls being completely covered in band aids all over. I think that I related to this poem and that's why I liked it so much.

I could use this poem in my classroom when I'm teaching poetry to show rhyme and to discuss what makes a poem. It would be a great poem to use to keep the students interested and also it would just be a silly poem to read.

Overall, this was one of my favorite poems growing up. It would be a great poem to incorporate into my future classroom and I can't wait to do so!
