Poetry - Rhyming, Alliteration, and Creative Writing

We are in the middle of our poetry unit and my students are becoming amazing poets!!  We started the unit with poems that rhyme.  We read rhyming poems, played rhyming games, and wrote our own poems

We learned what alliteration is and how to use it in writing.  Students listened to an alliteration book and then create animal alliteration sentences on KidPix which we made into a class book.

We read Walter Worried and created alliteration sentences using our own names and feelings that began with the same letter.

The class had fun learning how to look at the world through "a poet's eyes" (Lucy Calkins) and turn what they saw into poetry.
