Ever Write a Limerick?

Writing limericks is a tricky endeavor.

Lines 1, 2 and 5 should rhyme and lines 3 & 4 should have a different rhyme.

They should be silly, use lots of terms related to St. Patrick's day 

(I give my class a word bank to choose from which includes words like 

Blarney stone, gold, pot of gold, rainbow, etc.)

I have to read many examples, do some collaborative writing, 

do 2-3 rough drafts and then we have something that is ready to publish.

Here are a few of the best limericks my class came up with.

 We also did some fun shamrock designs.

Each section has to be a different pattern.

This garland adorns the back of our classroom.

 My classroom is looking oh so festive!
