Creepy, Crawly CrittersCreepy, crawly critters

Crept right under Crystal’s door.

Creepy crawly critters

Crept across the crowded floor.

Creepy, crawly critters

Ran crisscross in a fright;

When Crystal’s crazy crocodile

Smiled with cruel delight. Creative Teaching Press

Marching Through the NightLeft, right, left, right,

Marching onwards through the night.

Left, right, left, right,

Marching till the morning light.


Even thought your boots are tight.


March right on with all your might!Sue Palmer


Starlight

Star light, star bright,

First star I see tonight,

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have the wish I wish tonight.


Making Kites

The winds of March begin to blow,

And it is time for kites, you know.

Here’s the way I make my kite,Watch and help me do it right.

Continued on next slide

Making Kites

I cross two sticks so thin and long,Tied together good and strong.A string I fasten to each end,

And across the middle to make it bend.

I measure and cut the paper straight,

And glue along the edge and wait.


Making Kites

A ball of string to hold my kite,When it sails almost out of sight.And there’s my kite all ready to

go,Please March wind, begin to

blow!


The Man in the Moon

Without any warningThe man in the moon

Dropped into our school At around noon.

You may not believe meBut I have the proof.

There’s a man-in-the-moon shaped hole in the roof.

Sue Palmer


oo--moon Song(If You’re Happy & You Know It)

Sometimes oo says “OO” like in spoon.

Sometimes oo says “OO” like in zoo.

Sometimes oo says “OO” like in

Moon, tooth, and soon.

Sometimes oo says “OO” like in moon. by Pam Cannon


Magic

There’s magic in a book.You only have to look.

You can go endless places Or even learn to cook.

I love to find A warm and snuggly nook,

Where I can curl upAnd make friends with a book.

Pam Cannon


Oo—book Song(If You’re Happy & You Know It)

Sometimes oo says “OO” like in look.

Sometimes oo says “OO” like in foot.

Sometimes oo says “OO” like in

book, good, and shook.

Sometimes oo says “OO” book. by Pam Cannon


My Bicycle

One wheel, two wheels on the ground,My feet make the pedals

go round and round,Handle bars help me steer so straight,Down the sidewalk, through the gate. Source: CanTeach Website


Rain

When the rain is splashing down,

On the fields and on the town,

Singing winds begin to blow,

And the flowers start to grow.

“ow”cow Song(Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

Did you know OW can say “o”?

For example: I see a brown cow.

Many words use OW for “o”,

Like down, clown, and a dog can howl. by Pam Cannon


Ow—bow Song(Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

Did you know OW says “O”?

For example: See the snow blow.

Many words use OW for “O”,

like crow, slow, and a bent elbow. by Pam Cannon


Think of Long “U”

Think of words

With the sound of long U

That end with an “e”,

Such as use and clue.

The words can be like

cube or blue. Pocket Chart Poems

I Spy a Little Fly

I spy a little flyBuzzing in the deep blue sky.He’ll be gone by and by.

I spy a little flyBuzzing round, I don’t know

why.He’ll be gone by and by.

I spy a little flyBuzzing round and looking sly.He’ll be gone by and by…But not before he’s made me

cry.Sue Palmer


Chicken Soup

I was really hungry For some chunky chicken soup,

But my mother said to me,“Just have some chili.”


Chicken Soup

I was really hungry For some chunky chicken soup,

But my mother said to me,“Just eat a cherry.”

So, I snuck into the kitchenAnd climbed upon a chair,

And with one fail swoop,I cooked my chunky chicken soup!

Pam Cannon


Daisy the Snail

Daisy is a brainy snail,

She can drive a train

And bring the mail.

She can sail a ship or follow a trail

Yes, Daisy is a brainy snail.
