Poetry for Kindergarten… It’s Like FREE Books, but BETTER

Kindergarten Poetry… it’s like FREE books but better! I always struggled at the beginning of the year with finding books that my kiddos could read independently at the beginning of the year.

This is how the poems look in the pocket chart.  I still want to keep the pocket chart version… but why not add a lap book to use for other shared reading lessons or to place in the classroom library!

Kindergarten Poetry: Music and Videos

Miss Jenny and I have created Music and Videos for each of the poetry sets.  

To make it easier for you to play them in your classroom, you could either download the videos or you have the option to stream them through Vimeo.  I added a Jukebox to help you.  You just click on the poem and you are good to go!
