Maggie’s class works with a different poem each month. The class spends time looking at the words and being “Phonics Detectives.” They recite the poem each day, with the end goal of the students memorizing it by the end of the month. Maggie, my natural born performer, loves it. One of the first things she said this morning was, “It’s February! That means we get to learn a new poem today!”

Here’s January’s selection, for your enjoyment.
