I wish this picture had turned out a little better, but here's another poem activity we did last week. We had been studying penguins throughout the week and students had just finished their non-fiction writing about penguins. It was time to lighten things up and make some cute penguins to decorate the room. And, since we had just written adjective poems a couple weeks before, it was time to think of some verbs for this poem. We brainstormed all the verbs we could think of on how a penguin moves: sliding, slipping, swimming, waddling, etc. I was very impressed at how they recalled words from our non-fiction read alouds and shared reading texts from throughout the week! They wrote their poems on the penguin's belly. The kiddos were so creative as we watched a couple of inches of snow come down while creating our poems.
