Partner Poems

In Language Arts we are working on our comprehension, accuracy, fluency and expanded vocabulary.  One way we do this is by practicing partner poems.  Partner poems are silly poems that are written for two voices.  We always practice the poems multiple times to gain accuracy and fluency in a large group setting.  When we have mastered the poem, it goes into our partner poem duotang and we use those poems to practice fluency and accuracy during Daily 3.  The poem we learned today is titled "The Grump".  Here is our class practicing it today!
