A lesson plan for grades K–1 English Language Arts
Children of all ages enjoy listening to bouncy rhythms and reciting catchy rhymes. In this lesson, students will use their senses to experience poetry. Students will listen to poems and rhymes, clap out syllables, and sing along with familiar tunes. They will also use puppets and crafts to help recall and retell favorite poems. Finally, students will experience the joy of crafting their own original poems. This lesson can be found on the EDSITEment website.
