Poem for Kids [Chubby Little Snowman]

While learning about Winter, I was sure to incorporate a snowman poem for kids. Your students will love this pocket chart poem about a chubby little snowman.  After reading aloud, to build fluency and expression, the kids are eager to go to Build a Poem in the pocket chart center. 

 Watch below as they work in a small group at the build a poem pocket chart center - using large print work cards to build the Chubby Little Snowman Poem for kids.  In this classroom video, you can see the elementary kids work together building concepts of print, sight word fluency, expression, self-monitoring, applying phonics skills to decode unknown words, and retelling the poem with expression.

When complete, they check for accuracy, then read it aloud to the class.  This is the most exciting part of the build a poem process.  The energy from their excitement to read it to the class is amazing!

Chubby Little Snowman, along with Great Big Snowman, I'm a Little Snowman, I'm a Snowflake, and Snowball, are part of my Winter Build a Poem Bundle.

The Winter Build a Poem Bundle will get you through 1-2 months of pocket chart centers to integrate into your Winter lesson plans. You may also be interested in Winter Facts for Kids, or my Winter Write the Room center.

To continue building our reading fluency throughout the year, we add the printable Chubby Little Snowman poem for kids to our poetry notebooks. You can read more about Poetry Notebooks, here.

My kindergarten and first grade students love finishing off the week with this adorable snowman glyph.  If you're asking yourself "What is a glyph", you can read more about these crafts with a purpose, here.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog! You are an awesome teacher doing amazing things :)
