Common Core ELA Year Long Kinder Poetry Book - Rhyme Read Sight Words Etc

This is a great way to get in many of those COMMON CORE STANDARDS each week, in a fun, engaging way, while also creating a Kindergarten keepsake along the way. Student's love these poems and even better, they love that they can "read" them by themselves! And good for teachers too - they're DIFFERENTIATED!

This a set of 45 poems. Each poem is worked on each week of school and one-by-one students collect them in their poetry book, which goes home with them at the end of the year. This set includes:
- an introduction letter from myself explaining suggestions for how to implement this idea in your classroom as well as a list of common core standards that this poetry book teaches
- a cover for each student to put on their poetry book
- a label for each student to put on their poetry book
- a short letter to parents to put in their poetry book for when the book periodically goes home
- 45 engaging, emergent reader poems

Each poem includes:
- a list of basic skills taught within the poem
- how to use the poem in small-group
- the poem in a Smartboard file to be used in whole-group where students can manipulate pictures, words, link to outside websites, etc.
