School Supplies:
A Book of Poems

 

 A collection of poems where school supplies come to life.  A fun way to start off
 the school year reading about pencils, paperclips, pens and all the things students  
 come with when the school year begins.  After reading a few of these poems aloud
 discuss with the children personification and how it is used by both the author and
 illustrator in this book.  Have each student choose a school supply to write a poem
 about giving it human characteristics.
 


 

The Crayon Box
That Talked

 
 A simple poem written about crayons that don't get along due to their differences. 
 This is an excellent book to use at the beginning of the school year teaching children
 about the team within their own classroom and working together throughout the year.
 Create your own classroom crayon box with each child creating their own crayon.
