We used the template at Homeschool Share to help Elijah write his own "Round is" poem like the book we read, Round is a Mooncake.
He did great, but got really tired of thinking of round things by the end (he pointed at the laterns on the string in his room, but wouldn't say the words!). I added the "round are apples on a tree" and he approved with a head shake and a smile.
Oh, and mushroom is code word around here for marshmallow, but we kept mushroom for sound purposes! :) Plus, it will be great to look back someday and remember that he thinks marshmallows are "mushrooms" :).
Round is a balloon
Round is the clock Round are the animal faces on my birthday card
Round is a light that I found A potato head nose that makes no sound
Round are hats in my room Round are little white mushrooms
Round is a can of beans
And the laterns on a string
Round are apples on a tree What other round things do you see?
