This packet includes 10 orginal poems and songs that would be useful for Poem of the Week, Poetry Journals, or Poetry Centers. Each poem or song sheet includes an "Illustrate the Poem" page, strips that can be put in order, which will help increase fluency, and word cards that are great for pocketchart poetry stations. *These poems and songs are also included in my April Monthly Fluency Passages available on TpT.
Love the poems. We are working on phrasing/fluency right now. I taped the words together in phrases to increase the fluency. The kids love the pocket poem chart.

How do you recommend using these in kindergarten? Also do you have a bundle with every month included?
I have heard of many people using them for Poetry Journals. This would be perfect to work on fluency practice, but you could also have Kindergarteners highlight words they know or are learning. I just created a bundled packet of all of my monthly poems and songs (September - May.)
Hi! I have purchased your March fluency pack (LOVE IT. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE- note to potential buyers: have been using these since January and it is improving my kiddos fluency), are the poems and poem strips to put in order in there, as well? I'm confused because I know I printed it out and didn't see it!
I have been a teacher for 10 years. I have taught Art, 1st grade and 3rd grade, but my heart is definitely in 1st. I love to create things that I think will make learning more fun for my students.
