my poetry- unit 1 lesson 1

Every week or so I have to teach my students new words and discuss how they are spelled, suffixes, etc. I also practice reading sentences with the students for increased fluency. The sentences I am given are blah. So, I started making up poems to use instead. Here are some that I will use to start the year:

The bird, I’m afraid, was caught in the rope.
The cat, I’m afraid, stalked full of hope.
The bird, it is said, was crazily squawking
while the kind little mouse was franticly gnawing.

The first day I was feeling nervous,
some of the kids looked somewhat treacherous.
And the teacher, was she dangerous?
but thankfully, it all turned out marvelous.

I have to use certain words, so the subjects of the poems are very random. It has been kinda fun to be creative though.
