Holy Poetry, Batman! Part 3...the finale

Ah...I've missed you Slice of Life!  Welcome back! 

As you may know, my recent posts have been a journey through kindergarten poetry.  We observed the playground and school garden, we made a list of what we saw, we wrote a poem and we illustrated. 

Knowing the amount of love that went into these poems and illustrations, I knew we needed to display this work for others to see and appreciate.  We mounted the pictures and poems on black paper and laminated them for safe keeping.  Here are some samples:

Gold Fish

I'm swimming.
Wondering
What to do?

The water is

Blue, blue, blue.

Rocks

If you

Squish

Pebbles

They will

Turn to

Rocks.

Lion

A lion

Roaring

He's hungry

He eats an antelope

He

Was full.

I See...

I see a black cat.

I see a blue bird.

I see a black and white zebra.

I see a green frog.

I see the leaves.

I see the butterflies.

I see flowers.

I see the trees.

I see the fence. 

I see the people.

We hung these works of art in the hallway and we will continue to enjoy them for a while at school before we (I) part with them and send them home for parents to enjoy. 

We had a lot of fun with this project and the kids have continued to enjoy reading poetry books.  To keep the momentum going, I began reading nonfiction poetry to my students this week.  I read several nonfiction poems from The Poem Farm blog to my students.  They were eating it up!  Come back soon to see what happens next!
