We're working on a "poets and penfriends" unit in my class. The past two weeks we've been focused on poetry. I've been trying to instill my love for Shel Silverstein to my class and it seems to be working.
This week we've been focused on different styles of poetry. This is the Haiku we wrote today. I suppose it's debatable whether "squirrel" is one or two syllables. For the purpose of our Haiku it's one:

Big tree, brown branches
Squirrels climb on trees, birds fly by
Trees are really strong.


They did it on their own, clapping out the syllables. Not bad for a kindergarten class.
