Poem of the Week

In Santa's Workshop

In Santa's workshop far away,
Ten little elves work night and day.
This little elf makes candy canes,
This little elf builds streamlined trains,
This little elf dips chocolate drops,
This little elf makes lollipops,
This little elf makes great board games,
This little elf gives dolls their names,
This little elf packs each jack-in-the-box,
This little elf sews dolly socks,
This little elf wraps exciting books,
This little elf checks twice and looks,
As Santa packs them in his sleigh,
Ready for you on Christmas Day.

 

Students are asked to read this poem to three people at home. (Don't forget to call Grandma and Grandpa- I know they love to hear poems!)

Then: on a piece of lined paper, write down the words that you found in the poem that are nouns, write what the poem is mostly about (main idea), who the author is (sometimes it's anonymous), and what you liked best.
Finally, draw a picture that illustrates the words of the poem. Don't forget all the important details!
