Cinco de Mayo Kids Poems

Wendy Piersall — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:19:45 +0000

Cinco de Mayo’s history is based on the celebration of the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. Today it is still celebrated in the State of Puebla in Mexico, but has become a more significant holiday in the United States as a way to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride.

April Fools Day Poems

Here’s the latest addition to our printable kids poems series – April Fools Day poems! I’m not a fan of pranks, only because I tend to be more gullible than I like to admit. But there have been some really great hoaxes pulled in the past. One of the most famous April Fool’s Day hoaxes was carried out in 1957. The BBC television news show, Panorama, announced that Swiss farmers had grown a wonderful “spaghetti crop” and showed a video of them picking spaghetti from trees! In 1998, Burger King advertised its new Left-Handed Whopper on April Fool’s Day, saying that all of the condiments were placed especially for the left-handed eater. Both of these practical jokes fooled tons of people!

Poems for Kids

Over the last year I have put up over 36 kids poems written just for Classroom Jr. These printables have been some of the most popular content on the site. I am extremely proud of the quality, they are serious, funny, silly, educational, moving, and easy to use in the classroom.

I figured it would be a good idea to put up a post rounding up all our poetry for kids all in one place. This makes it easy to bookmark and come back for every season and holiday when you need a short poem for your students!

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are over and winter has truly set in. The flu has already knocked me on my rear end for the last 10 days and the house is as cold as can be. My kids are anxiously awaiting the next big snowfall to make another snowman – this is the perfect time of year to curl up with fun reading worksheets by the fire!
