Read a Winter Book...Write a Winter Poem
A Collaborative Literacy Project for Primary Students
We will submit a class poem to be shared with other classes all over the world. You may visit this site "Read a Winter Book...Write a Winter Poem" and see what other classes have written. 

 
Our teacher read to us the book Froggy Gets Dressed by Jonathan London.
She then modeled how to write a "character poem". We then wrote our own character poems. This is our class character poem.
 
Froggy
Froggy is forgetful.
Who loves to play outside
Who feels good about winter
Who needs reminded by his mother about his clothes
Who'd like to see himself all dressed up
Who ends up not going outside to play

Our teacher also read to us the book Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Briggs Martin. 

She then modeled how to write an acrostic poem. We wrote our own acrostic poems. This is our class acrostic poem.
Snow, snow, snow
New and 
Old
Where does it 
Fall? I
Love
All 
Kinds
Excellent!!!!!

After reading the book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.

We wrote the following five senses poem.
 
He saw snow, snowballs and kids.
He touched the snow and a stick.
He heard the crunching of snow beneath his feet.
He smelled breakfast cooking.
He tasted the snow and breakfast.

We will submit our class poems to be shared with other classes all over the world. You may visit this site "Read a Winter Book...Write a Winter Poem" and see what other classes have written.
