Since it is getting close to Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fun to write a color poem for all the foods of the Thanksgiving dinner. This poem could be done in two voices. (There are several ways you could divide up the parts.) With very young children they could draw the pictures and make a classroom book. Children could pick a color and write their own verses. There are lots of foods I didn't use celery, yams, gravy, stuffing, carrots, and onions to name a few. So, your challenge for today is to write your own food poem. Have fun writing.
