Poem of the Week Day 2

Read back over the poem again.

Try to read it with your best reading voice. You might need someone to help you.

Can you count how many capital letters are in this poem? 

Don't forget all the things you already know about capital letters like ..... a capital letter will always be at the beginning of a sentence, a capital letter is always at the beginning of a name.........

Can you remember what this is      ?   

That's right it is a question mark. 
That means someone is asking a question in the poem.


How many ? can you find in this poem?

  8. Way to go girls, Rory, Sophie and Makenzie it is awesome to see all of you having a go learning at home and you all got the same answer so I believe you will be correct. I think that Mrs M's poems are a fun way to learn. The sun is out at my house now I hope it is drying my washing.

  9. Hello, Hugo counted 7 capital letters within the poem. I told him to exclude the title of the poem. There are 7 question marks he could find.

    1. You are so right Hugo. I love that you know where a capital letter should be and can find them in this poem. I also love that you talked about the title with your family because we like to talk about the title at school as well. The title is important because it is the name of the poem so good on you chatting about this with your family and deciding to count the capital letters in the poem but not the title. There is great learning and discussions going on in your bubble. Good on you superstar.
