Poetry

Our class is learning about poetry writing! We will be working on poetry for the couple weeks leading up to break then revisit it during the spring. Poetry is a very fun genre of writing for beginning writers because poems can have as much or as little structure as the writer wants, they can be any length or format, and can be about absolutely anything! We have only been working on this for a few days so far but I am already so impressed by the poems the first graders in our class are writing! Below is a poem about snow that we did as a whole-class shared writing activity yesterday.

Snow
falls from the sky.
Snow
comes from clouds.
Snow
falls heavy.
Snow
melts.
No more snow!
