Poetry Friday 12/5 – December Celebrations
Posted by shelburns on December 5, 2008
This month for poetry Friday, I thought that I would share poems that I have used in my classroom. When I taught Kindergarten, we did a poem of the week. We read it everyday and then on Friday, I made copies for the kids to put into a poetry notebook. Every poem had pictures on it that they could color. They took the notebooks home over the weekend and read them to their families. They loved their poems and the parents had a wonderful keepsake at the end of the year. We also started December with the following poem…I hope you enjoy!
December Celebrations
Every year at just this time,
In cold and dark December,
Families around the world
All gather to remember,
With presents and with parties,
With feasting and with fun,
Customs and traditions
For people old and young
So every year around the world
In all lands and nations
People of all ages love
December celebrations!!
Find more poems at the Poetry Friday Round-up, hosted this week by Mommy’s Favorite Children’s Books.
