April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate, I choose poetry projects for the grade levels to participate in. Here's what we're up to!
Kindergarten: We read Old McDonald Had a Farm and compared it to Ms. MacDonald Had a Class. We had extra time to listen to the poem book Chicky, Chicky, Chook Chook.
First Grade: We created Acrostic Poems using our first name. They turned out great and the students did a nice job!
Second Grade: We are creating and typing shape poems using nature themed shapes. Some of the shapes tie into the classroom study of weather.
Third Grade: Jack Prelutsky is our author focus and we created our own version of his poem Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens. They are humorous!
Fourth Grade: Our bibliographies are taking us longer then expected, but we're still plugging away on them!
Fifth Grade: We started creating biography I Am poems. We used two music songs as inspiration, "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews and "Where I Come From" by Alan Jackson. We'll spend a few class periods on this project.
Sixth Grade: We finished our Dewey commercials! They are great and some are VERY creative!
