Stick horse Rodeo

In April, the first grade students in the district will get to take part in the stick horse rodeo.  Students will read Little Black, A Pony from the Black Stallion Literacy Foundation (all of the first graders received a copy of the book).  They will make stick horses and take part in the stick horse rodeo.  I don't know a whole lot about it but I'm excited to get to do this with them.  :)  So I will start a rodeo/farm theme unit beginning in April.  

I found this website to be very helpful in coming up with ideas for my theme.  Here's a link.

So, I made up some little poem posters to go along with the theme so far.

Here is This little Piggy (cowboy style),

Here are a few other ones (cowboy style).
