Poetry

In reader's workshop this week, we started our new unit in poetry. We spent the first part of the week discussing differences between poems and fiction/nonfiction books. We also discussed how poems can give us feelings, and sometimes those feelings can change depending on how the poem ends.

In yesterday's lesson, we talked about how poems can have rhyming words. We also noticed and discussed the placement of the rhyming words in poems. During independent practice, everyone read through their poetry notebooks and found examples of rhyming words in familiar poems. We will be studying more with poetry in the coming weeks!
