As part of our school-wide poetry focus, first grade students read jump rope rhymes during library class. Students browsed through a variety of books including Anna Banana: 101 Jump-Rope Rhymes by Joanna Cole. |
|
|
After learning that jump rope rhymes are a form of poetry, each group of students selected a rhyme for the class to use together.

Gingerbread Spin
Spools and spools
of spinners’ thread,
spin the brown
of gingerbread;
tie a string
around your thumb,
pluck a berry,
boil a plum.
Spools and spools
of spinners’ thread,
spin the brown
of gingerbread …
G-I-N-G-E-R-B-R-E-A-D.
