5 Fat Peas in a Pea Pod – A Poem for the End of the Year – May 10, 2011

The pod went, "POP!"

Here’s a Teaching Tip Tuesday poem to celebrate all the growthΒ your students have made this year!

[box]

5 fat peas in a pea pod pressed
(hold hand in a fist)

1 grew, 2 grew, so did all the rest.
(put thumb and fingers up one by one)

They grew and grew
(raise hand in the air very slowly)

And did not stop,
Until one day

The pod went POP!
(clap hands together)

[/box]
