    I found a great short vowel poem in one of the Mailbox magazines. I get them up and moving and my first graders LOVE it!! Here it is:
    "Short Vowel Beat"
    First clap your hands and then stomp your feet
    Everybody do the short vowel beat!
    Candy, candy, a/a/a (repeat) - (you are saying the short a sound)
    Wave your arms high, swing your arms low,
    The short vowel beat is the way to go
    Red hots, red hots, e/e/e (repeat)
    Move to the left, Move to the right
    The short vowel beat is way out of sight
    Licorice, licorice, i/i/i (repeat)
    Hop two steps up, hop two steps back
    The short vowel beat keeps you right on track!
    Chocolate, chocolate, o/o/o (repeat)
    Shout it out loud, whisper it low,
    Just one more vowel in the beat to go
    Yummy, yummy, u/u/u (repeat)
    Now give a high five to a nearby friend,
    The short vowel beat has come to an end!


    Hope it helps!!
