Poetry

What is Poetry?

As part of our Genre study, we have been learning about poetry.  We have read a variety of different types of poems.  We can identify rhyme and repetition within a poem and have even written some poetry of our own.  We also talked about rhythm in a poem.  We enjoyed reading a poem about ice skating that was turned into a song with an interesting rhythm.  We also read a poem that was turned into a book.  It has an interesting rhythm of its own.

These winter poems have repetition.

These Valentine poems have rhyme.

Ask your child to sing you this song and listen to the rhythm of  the poem.

After reading this poem turned into a book, the children identified the rhythm of rowing in a boat.  Click on the link below if you are interested in learning more about this book.
