Bring out the riddles!

This is a great time of the year to model and suggest that students write riddles in a poetry format.  Just start them with: Who am I?  or What am I?  They're fun, fast, and creative...not to mention a good springboard for teaching verbs, adjectives, and other parts of speech.  Here's my for  today...for primary students:

Who am I?

In school all day!

Blowing bubbles,

Flapping gills,

Swishing through cool water,

Swimming happily.

Showing shiny scales

Flashing sharp fins

Who am I?  

(a fish)
