Fall+&+Halloween+Poems



We have spent the past few weeks creating poetry for Fall and Halloween. With only 37 minutes per class period, not a lot of time was available for spellchecking. As a result, there are a few errors in some of the poems. Personally, I enjoy seeing "invented" spelling. I encouraged the students in the writing stage to not worry about the spelling. In the publishing stage, I asked them to ask for spellings of words they were unsure of. If the words aren't spelled correctly, perhaps they were "sure" of how to spell it! Second graders wrote 5 W poems. Each line answered the question Who? What? When? Where? or Why? Third graders wrote 5 Senses poems, and fourth graders wrote Rhyming Couplets. I hope you enjoy the fruits of their labors.
