Room 1's Poems

In room 1, we choose a nursery rhyme each week to be our poem.   We read our poem everyday.
"Sometimes we sing it together," said Georgia.
"We learn how to read our poem," said Anna.
"We take turns to point to the words,' said Jayden G.

On Fridays we have our own copy of the poem.
"We find letters and words in our poem, and circle them with highlighter," said Si-En and Ella-Mae.

Natalia is looking for the letters m, d and a. She can recognize these letters. 

Cameron and Eden are looking for letters too. 

William is looking for the words and, in and with. He looks for the beginning sound to help him.

Nathan has found the word and. Ka pai Nathan. 

"And then we colour it in." Said Shaneel.

Megan is colouring the picture. In room 1 we are learning to colour inside the lines. Megan is doing a great job of this. 

This is Koji's first poem. In room 1 we are learning to make good colour choices. Koji has made great colour choices. 

Todd has made great colour choices too, and is working hard to stay inside the lines. Colouring inside the lines helps us to develop finger muscle strength and control. 

The poem goes home in our poem folder on Friday afternoon so we can share it with our family. We bring our folder back to school on Mondays.
