Poems

Dear Parents,
When practising the poem with your child at home, feel free to use simple actions to go with the poem. Students are not allowed to use props.
The way we are practising in class is as follows:

Student: "Good morning, my name is __________________ and this is my poem..." at this point student will start reciting the poem. Don't need to say the poem title.
Thank you and have fun!

Awesome Day!!!
