Poetry freebie and a giveaway!


Hello!!!!
If you were a follower over at Teaming Up To Teach you might remember this post.  I use these in my classroom in the beginning of the year.  Then as the year continues we add different poems to our folders.  Now this year has been a little different because there have been so many changes but I will definitely get back on the Poetry train and what better month than April since its poetry month.  

.  I received these from a mentor teacher and spruced them up I am not taking credit for these.  They were given to me and if I could find the author I would definitely give credit where its due. I use these poems at the beginning of the year because we are reviewing and working through different letters of the alphabet. We work on one or two a day depending on time. We read it out loud together. Then they illustrate the poem in the box provided. Then I will ask them to find different things within the poem. I might ask them to underline all the "a" words or look for the words that have a short vowel sound. Another thing that I have them do is circle the different punctuation marks used in each poem. The possibilities are endless so it all depends how much time you have. 

I hope you enjoy this little freebie.  Comments are always appreciated and maybe you can follow my blog for more great freebies. Just click on the link to head on over to TPT to grad this little bundle.

Don't forget to join us in our giveaway.
