Quick Tech Tip: To display these poems onto your smartboard or interactive whiteboard you will simply open up the file using Adobe Reader {which is standard}. To view the poem full screen you will click “view” at the top, then select “full screen.”
I will also have a set of the poems printed for the students to have in the classroom library. We all know that so many students come to school having this thought they don’t know how to read…when we know that reading is so much more than sitting down with a chapter book. I feel that it’s my mission to show these kids that they CAN read! By placing these poems in the classroom library they will be able to reference back to the poems we’ve covered…they will be experts and very proud of themselves! Hey, I can read after all! 🙂
To create my printed version of the poems I printed the cover page on cardstock and laminated it along with a plain piece of cardstock for the back cover. I then printed out the poems on standard copier paper.
Lastly, I bound the book together for the “wear and tear” ie. lovin’ the book will receive in the classroom library.
Enjoy and happy teaching! 🙂
Tara,
These are great! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I have been wanting to put together a book of nursery rhymes/poems, but I don't have all of the clip art. You just made my day!

Thank you for sharing! My kinders also do a poem a week, usually related to our theme. At the end of the week, we put the poems into our poetry notebooks/folders. I provide the poem for them to glue into their books, but I leave blanks where our sight word of the week should be and they fill it in (for example, Jack ____ Jill went up _____ hill).
Thank you so much. I will put these to good use!
Thanks for sharing these Weekly Poems. It is surprising to see that children today do not know these rhymes and poems. Can't wait to try it out!
Thanks so much for sharing these beautifully created poems with fellow educators. I love them!
Thank you so much for sharing these. I really like them and appreciate that you included a pacing chart.
I will be using these for fluency practice with my special ed crew- I will have them read with different types of voices 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
You are a sweetheart for offering these on your blog! When I taught Kinder, I did a weekly nursery rhyme – but that was before I knew all about cute fonts and graphics. I am saving a copy to use in the future! Thanks!

You are soooooo KIND!!! Thank you for sharing your work with us (me!!!). I am going to put them onto my Smart Board….as well as putting a printed copy into my reading area. I was wondering….when I printed it up it didn't include your cute cover page. Is it possible to get that as well (for my printed book). Thank you for ALL you do for ALL of us!! 🙂 Lynnette

Thank you so much! We are starting to send home a poetry notebook each week with our students and this helps us out a lot. Many of the weekly poems we looked at weren't at Kindergarten friendly as yours. I also did action research on using a poetry notebook and know the benefit of using one in the classroom and at home.
Thanks so much for your hard work and willingness to share!
Okay, I am blown away by your generosity here. These are PERFECT, and I can’t wait to use them in my kindergarten class, starting this week. I love the idea of putting them up on the smart board, too, so that all the kiddos can see them. I’m totally doing that.
Thank you x a million!
