Kindergarten poems focus on: friendship and family, the seasons, the first and last day of school, animals and much, much more. First grade poems focus on: all about me, school, community, animals, math, life cycles, and much more. Second grade themes focus on: all about me, school, math, science, social studies, writing genres, and more! For individual, group, and whole class work, we've provided the tools you need. Each poem has a student poem page with an engaging illustration. This enables students to create their own personal poetry collections. For group and center work, we've provided strips that fit into the Desktop Pocket Chart. We've also included instructions for enlarging the poems for use as poetry posters.
