4th Grade Poetry Unit

April is poetry month and we have been celebrating it in Language Arts class!  The 4th graders are currently working on their poetry portfolios.  They have an animal alliteration poem, a descriptive color poem, and two haikus completed so far.  We have also been reading and sharing a lot of different types of poetry in class.  I love that my students have been coming in with poetry books for me to read aloud to the class.  When they are excited about what they are learning it makes it all the more enjoyable.  :)
