Love it! Where do you get your poems? I like how this one is short and sweet–not too long for the littles to remember.

Great ideas! I use sentence strips but I like the index card idea and coloring coding would be super helpful! Thanks for the tips. By the way…OMG you can't do centers? What???

Wellllll, I used to when I was "allowed" to do centers. Don't get me started. One of my favorites (and the kids) was printing each word of a poem out on its own card. I would put the poem and the word cards in a gallon sized baggie. They took the poem out and then put the cards in a pocket chart as they "rebuilt" the poem. For organization and easy access, each poem was glued onto a different piece of construction paper. For example, if Way Down South was glued onto green, then all of the word cards for that poem were typed in green. If Mary Wore a Red Dress was glued onto red construction paper, then all of the word cards for that poem were red. Of course, everything was lamnated. :)
We also poetry folders and everyone would get the new poem of the week on Mondays. Maybe I should blog about this????? :)

Yes! We also have a "Poem of the Week," a Poetry Center, and the kiddos have their own Poetry Binders. I always try to find poems that incorporate our current theme, our high-frequency word(s) of the week, and our letter(s) of the week. Such fun!
