Poetry ~ First Grade Style!

I wanted my students to write a poem with rhythm and they did not disappoint.

This activity was simple and we got it done in about 45 minutes from start to finish (including a little mini lesson on rhythm in poetry).

I provided a link at the end where you can grab this.

*For my Texas teaching friends:

  1st grade TEKS for this activity are 1.9B, 1.11A, 1.11B, 1.11E, 1.12A, 1.2F

(If you want to see what those TEKS are the click on the following link: Texas 1st Grade TEKS)

Here are a few of my first grader's poems with rhythm, repetition and onomatopoeia.

This last one is a little hard to read.  It says:

dirt bike on the road

dirt bike on the road

rrr    rrr

rrr   rrr

dirt bike on the road

Happy Teaching!
