We are Poets!

Poems in Kindergarten

The last 4 weeks our focus in language arts has been poetry.  We used instruments to make the rhythm of different poems, focused on visualizing poems, and even created a variety of our own poems! 

We started off by making list poems.  The first one was about our lunchbox.  We practiced reading them like poets. 

Our Ouch! poems was one of their favorites!  We came up with a list of all the things that made us go "ouch" then turned those into poems.  Students loved wearing their bandaids!

Next, we made our I Love poems.  The students were so engaged in poetry this day!  We ended up skipping math because the students wanted to make their final copies of their poems so bad (Don't worry, we had double math the next day :)).  Our Beach Buddies love to write!

Although our poetry unit is over, we will continue to write poems, listen to poems, and visualize poems throughout the year because WE ARE POETS!
