A POEM OF THANKS

Season/Month: Thanksgiving-November
Age/Grade: Primary
Groups: Whole
Materials: Example of couplet poetry

Create a class Thanksgiving Poem by asking each student to contribute a rhyming couplet. Start with your own and then ask a volunteer to add another. Or send home, as homework, and then compile the couplets. When your class is finished, place your class Thankful Poem in the hallway, adding paper so others who feel inspired can add to it, or put it on your Website for all to enjoy. It can be a Class Book to be perused all year and then be added to the Journal/Memory Books to go home.

Example:
SECOND GRADERS ARE THANKFUL FOR...
Clothes to wear
So I'm not bare

Horses to ride
With a friend at my side
