Our First Poems

We try to do a class book each month that I can make copies of and send home to our families. I see the growth in our little writers every day, but I think this way they can share in seeing the writing skills of our students grow. For this month we did our first poems! The students made a title, wrote adjective/food 3 x's and then summed up their feelings about the holiday with an ending sentence. I love to see them begin to make that connection between the sounds and the letters. Many of my students started Day One without knowing their letters and sounds at all--so the fact that many of them now know those sounds and can apply that knowledge to write is something I am definitely thankful for!
