Poetry Fun

We read a couple books in class to discuss rhyming stories.  We discussed how the rhymes came at the end of the sentence.  Here are the lessons I used with my class for this quick introduction to rhyme!

First, we read Rumble in the Jungle!  This was a class favorite! 

After discussing the book and the rhymes we looked at the book again to complete the rumble in the jungle rhyming page.

Then the kids chose their own jungle animal to draw and write a rhyming poem about.

Another fun rhyming book we read was The Caterpillow Fight.  

After reading the book, we worked together to find all the ending rhymes in the poem and added them to the caterpillar page.  Then, the students wrote their own poem.
