April, Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month (in the U.S.).  I've put together a few things to share with you throughout the month, so be sure to check back often so you don't miss all the fun!  Here's the first one:  This is Set 1 of a 3 part collection of Jump Rope Rhymes.  It seems that spring brings a renewed passion for jump roping on the playground and these rhymes somehow get passed along through the generations.  What fun it might be for you to introduce new poems and rhymes to your students for their jump roping.  You'll get literacy integrated with fun and exercise! The following 2 sets will be coming throughout the month along with several other Poetry Month surprises.
