Rhyming Couplets

In Grammar and Writing we have been learning about poetry and the different literary devices often used within a poem.  Today our focus of discussion was on alliteration, rhythms, and patterns.  Our assignment today was to write a poem with at least four rhyming couplets.  Writing rhyming couplets can be difficult, especially when sounds and words are still so new, but I'm happy to say that the kids are trying really hard and doing a good job.

Savannah's Poem today:

Thar's(there is) a squirrel

One that can turrel (twirl)

That lives in a tree

Far away in a sea

She has a bote (boat)

She can flote (float)

On the sea

What abot (about) me?

for a beginner, I think she did really well. :)

Asher had a slightly harder time...he thinks poetry is silly and doesn't make as much sense because it isn't in full sentences.  I corrected his spelling with him, so....it's already fixed here.

I wait and wait and wait to look

In a book.

I fly with my wings

And sing.

I drink pop

And hop.

I like it in the day

I said to Jay.

he was not impressed with his work, but I think he did pretty well. :)

Proud of my kiddos. They work so hard, every day.
