Woo-wee...I had no idea that switching schools and moving from full day kindergarten to half day kindergarten would make me feel like a first year teacher all over again! Wow! I've been eating, sleeping, and running Kindergarten since before the school year started. Lucky for me I LOVE every moment of it!
This poem innovation came to me on one of my evening runs (who needs an i-pod when you're a Kindergarten teacher?!) and I had to take a moment to share it with you. It seems to get my kids giggling every time it is read. Here's how it goes...I started the year reading this book
(which is one of the cutest stories to hear the kids ‘rereading’ independently
using the voices I used while reading)
and reciting the poem, “Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar.” I then decided to change it to apples,

When we changed the poem, we discussed which words we would have to change and why. It was a great way to discuss the similarities and differences between how/where apples and pumpkins grow. We also discussed and highlighted the sight words.
I created a book to go with the pumpkin poem for kids to read at stations. Boogie on over to my TPT store, by clicking on the pumpkin poem or the TPT button on the side bar, to download the pumpkin poem, and book, for free!
