Limericks
We are going to have some fun and work on a unit in poetry over the next couple of weeks. Specifically, limericks. These are so much fun to write. We will be posting a site you can visit to learn all there is to know about them! We will be adding a limerick each day. We challenge you to come up with your own limerick once you learn all about them (probably next week). If you want to record yourself reading your own limerick, you can send it to us!
