Theme Poems 

ReadWriteThink.org is a wonderful resource for educators, parents, and anyone interested in inspiring children to strengthen their writing skills. ReadWriteThink.org is a site that I will keep at the ready as I begin to teach. There are so many wonderful writing exercises available that to pick just one was very difficult. However, I decided to write about their Theme Poems activity.  This particular student interactive is available online and as a mobile app.

It works great for students ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade. 

Theme Poems

As you can see down below, the student has five folders of themes from which they can pick. 

This star poem is my attempt at using Theme Poems. I think it came out pretty well!

I really enjoy taking these Web Resources out for  a spin. How 

can we hoist these activities on our students if we haven't done 

them ourselves!
