Words

Today I was so excited to see our best writing come together to make a really thoughtful poem. The figurative language and imagery were outstanding. I can't wait to read your final bio poems. I thought today was really fun when we took the words from Shel Silverstein's poem, "One Inch Tall" and scrambled them up like Magnetic Poetry to create our own poems. Poetry is just magic! Just wait until we read Shel Silverstein's actual poem tomorrow:-)

Some of you mentioned that you have Magnetic Poetry--if you would like to bring it in to share, please DO. If you have poetry books to share with us, bring those in also.

It looks like you all have a great start on your goods/services production for your businesses. I can't wait to see your finished products and services. Those of you who are offering classes, make sure that you have an outline or plan for what you are going to do.

I have some very exciting news. We raised enough money from the book fair for each teacher to pick out new books for our classroom. Thank you to each family for helping to support our school. I had fun picking out LOTS of new chapter books this afternoon. They are underneath the white board--you are welcome to borrow them to read! Don't you just love opening a brand new book for the first time?

Remember that your Spanish flags are due Thursday, not TOMORROW. If you need to finish math, don't forget to finish your lesson. If you didn't finish your poetry scramble, take NO MORE THAN 10 minutes to finish. Remember...poems can be about anything and have any length. Sometimes two or three great lines makes a fantastic poem! Be creative:-)

Have a great night.
