Poetry Break
Introduction
I would ask the children what they think love is. I would then tell the students that the poem I am about to read is special to me because it reminds me of my dad and what he used to say to me when I was a child.
LOVE DON’T MEAN
by Eloise Greenfield
Love don’t mean all that kissing
Like on television
Love means Daddy
Saying keep your mama company
till I get back
And me doing it

Extension
Encourage a discussion on how love is shown in the students’ families. Guide the discussion to include what they do to show love to their parents.
