Here are some poems that we have been learning over the past month:
Johnny Appleseed
Thank you, Johnny Appleseed.
We owe you quite a lot,
for the apples that you planted
with a walking stick and cooking pot.
Your seeds were planted far and wide
across our frontier land.
A friendly word you had for all,
and you gave a helping hand.
Thank you, Johnny Appleseed.
We owe you quite a lot,
for lovely trees and apples
and the lessons that you taught.

A Pumpkin Dream
Pumpkins grow
on a long, long vine.
I dream the biggest
one is mine!
I roll it home
and say “Surprise!”
Now we will bake
some pumpkin pies.

Picking Apples
We ride on the wagon
and giggle at each bump.
Up to the orchard,
then out we jump.
We pick our apples
right off the tree.
Then put them in a bag,
one, two three!
We carry them home
and pile them high.
Maybe tomorrow we will
make an apple pie!

Remember, it is not that we are working on memorizing these poems, but rather working on our fluency and prosidy(rhythm). Have fun and enjoy the poems. Your child is collecting these as the weeks go by, and will have a full collection of them to bring home in May.
