Each week, we learn a new poem or song that focuses on a particular theme, letter/sound, sight word or concept such as rhyming, syllables, etc. I post the new poem so that you will read it and/or sing it with your child to continue the fun and learning at home. These poems and songs quickly become favorites as we read them each day. Each poem will be added to your child's class poem book so that he/she/they can read it independently. Happy Reading and Singing!

Make New Friends
Make new friends
But keep the old
One is silver
And the other is gold.
The circle’s round
It has no end
That’s how long

And I have another
Put them together
And we have each other!
