This holiday poetry packet is a must to have in your students' writing portfolios. It should be kept in portfolios as an ongoing writing activity and students can be assigned to writing an array of different types of poems as each holiday occurs during the course of the school year. By the end of the school year, you will have a marvelous collection of poems to share with parents and students will be proud of their writing accomplishments. They will be quite impressed. A checklist will also be added separately under the title "Holiday Poetry Portfolio Checklist". Please look for that in my catalog. There is also a place to cut off poem definitions so that poetry can be displayed on bulletin boards or on walls. These are also sold separately, but you can save money by purchasing this packet. These are appropriate for just about any grade level as long as they can write. Some poems also have grammar applications.
P.S. Look for my holiday poetry bookmarks which correlate with these creative writing activities and take a look at the preview which you can download for free. If you like it, please consider purchasing the entire portfolio packet. THE PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE. PLEASE WRITE. HAPPY POETRY WRITING AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I have taught for 36 years at the 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade levels. Fifth grade is my first love. I teach all major subject areas. In addition to my regular classroom duties, I have taught in a Basic Skills summer school program for many years as well as taught workshops to co-workers in whole language and technology. My other duties at school include being "Teacher in Charge" and Student Council advisor.
