Today, as I was "pinning" on Pinterest, I saw some songs teaching friendly letter, verb, adjective, and pronouns. WOW!! I've gotta get "K" involved again and write songs about nouns, adverbs, and some other stuff. For now, here are the copies I made for my students' Poetry Journals...click on the link underneath the picture if you want it. Please leave a comment if you download. :) Thanks! Adjective Song, Friendly Letter, Pronouns, and Verbs in Action. They love to read/sing the poems and what an easy way to get the information stuck in their heads!

Big thanks to Michelle, the 3 AM Teacher, and Nikki at Melonheadz Illustrating, and Mel at From the Pond for the great graphics!
