Poetry, Area, Perimeter

We have definitely been busy when it comes to Poetry.  Today, we made frogs from my Frogs and Butterflies unit and wrote Haikus about them.  This was no easy task, I’ll tell you that much!  After several tries, we finally produced Haikus that followed the syllable rules 🙂  “Mrs. Lemons, if we say it fast can we make the word one syllable instead of two??”  hahahaha
Yesterday we wrote Cinquain Poems about sharks.  I’ve done this for several years because my students just love this activity.  It’s one that never gets old!  You can grab that for FREE here!

 My kiddos also wrote cinquain poems of their choice.  We put them all onto one large chart to display in the classroom 🙂
 My kiddos LOVE reading each other’s writing!
 And, you can’t leave out Acrostic Poems!
 This is my favorite!
 We’ve been quite the busy ones in math as well.  We made these Area flapbooks…
 And Perimeter Cones!  You can grab that HERE!
 We also found the area and perimeter of the shapes that my teammate taped up on our wall.  This was definitely a favorite!
 And we made Perimeter Flapbooks.  One can never make too many flapbooks!  You can get that HERE!
 Now we all just need a LONG nap to recover from all this learning!!!
