I end the year with poetry. The children are learning that all the songs we have been learning and singing is poetry set to music. Now as we listen, read and recite new poems we find or own voices and creativity. I start by teaching the simple patterns of a diamond poem ( kites) where we start with two nouns one changing not the other and simple similes. | Our science unit on silkworms emerges in a child's poem. |

After completing several activities with the poem, If I was in Charge of the World by Judith Viorst, the children wrote their poem using the writing process . Their final drafts were done in Book Creator. They have many ideas for our world. Enjoy!
This is how we ended our simile/metaphor project . Enjoy.
