My Very Own Poetry Collection: 101 Poems For Second Graders

The poems in this personal poetry collection, written by the author of the popular Poem of the Week series, have taken into account themes and topics for second graders: poems about "me" and life at school; social studies poems about families, maps, and famous Americans; math poems about sharks teeth and fractions of a pie; science poems about food chains, clouds, and liquids; silly poems; special poems written in particular genres, and much more. They're full of unusual words and fun new vocabulary. Each poem has a student poem page with an engaging illustration. This enables children to create their own personal poetry collections. For group and center work, we've provided strips that fit into a Desktop Pocket Chart.
