Happy New Year!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday surrounded by your family and friends!
This week students had fun learning how to write limerick poems. A limerick is a funny, five-line poem that tells a story, often about a person. It has an AABBA rhyme scheme, and a rhythmical pattern.
After reviewing how to determine the number of syllables in a word, students worked with a partner to create funny limerick poems together. Then after they had a better understanding of how to write a limerick, they were asked to independently write a limerick about Peru.
We had a lot of fun sharing our limerick poems in the author's chair. We shared comments, compliments and questions to celebrate and help our classmates make their limericks even better!
