This week we spent time brainstorming many different word endings and ways we could make rhyming words with these endings. We used what we learned during our literacy lessons prior to Mrs. Kneeland coming to help us write rhyming poetry. We watched a Sesame video to introduce rhyming and then Melissa read a poem from Shel Silverstein. She and I both wore berets and scarves to get into character of a poet. Then the students got into partners and picked an object out of the bag (bat, ball, ring, plane, pen, dice, cube, car, chair, dog, clip) and wrote rhyming words. With that list, they created 4 line poems. After they finished writing the poems, they practiced reading them together. Last, they came to the front of the class to read their poem. They are looking forward to next week when they get to wear berets and sunglasses and learn about poetry beat.
