Isn’t teaching Kindergarten just magical? I think so!
I LOVE to watch their little faces light up as they have success
re-reading a familiar poem/chant. I try
to give them lots of opportunities for success and use fun pointers too! There are real photos to enhance their reading process. I use these poems
during the first weeks of Kindergarten to set the tone for a love of reading
and word work. In this packet, you will
find the following chants and word work/poetry journals:
•Rosie’s
Walk (Use
with the companion book Rosie’s
Walk by
Pat Hutchens. I adore this book because
it’s a great introduction to the use of prepositions in writing.
•Hattie’s
Friends (Use
with the companion book, Hattie
and the Fox by
Mem Fox).
•Our
Clothes
(This
is an independent poem sung to the tune of Mary
Wore Her Red Dress). My students enjoy interacting with this text
and re-building it in the Poetry Center.
•Kindergarten
(This
is another independent poem taken from Fontas
and Pinnell’s work) It’s a super cute poem that students can use
to consider action verbs involved in Kindergarten.
Here's a peek at some of the wonderful poems included...
