Recently we finished a "mini-unit" on colours. Perhaps a few little songs/poems made it home to you! One of our poems was about red; in the first picture we not only had learned the poem, but we also started to look carefully at the words within the poem. The top picture is of us playing thinking games that encouraged us to take turns finding the word red, finding the smallest word(s), and finding words that had five letters. You'll notice little arrows too; that is where the children noticed the punctuation used in the poem.
After brainstorming all things red we were able to share the marker and create our own Red poem that followed the same structure as above. You'll notice the student referring to our Red chart of ideas before making her selection and transferring it to our poem.
