1st grade poetry

My favorite part of teaching 1st grade writing is the poetry theme we do this time of year. I thrive on the rawness and lack of rules and I'm sure my kiddos do too. Here is the first poem of the season- one we wrote together today. Enjoy!

Mrs. Eigsti's Belly


Baby E is locked in jail
Get me out of here!
19 inches scrunched and squished
She's a ninja, dear
Mrs. E hits marble jars
with her great big gut
Baby E has no idea
'cuz her eyes are shut!
