Dear Students,

 

   We have been doing Rock and Read to help us with poetry skills.  We read/sing and discuss many different things within the poems/songs.  Remember that when we do Rock and Read we are going over Lyrical Poems.  Lyrical Poems are poems that are about a persons personal feelings that have rhythm and are usually put to music.  We also identify words with prefixes and suffixes, compound words, contractions, and many more.  Another thing we have discussed this week in poetry is the fancy word : Repetition.  Repetition kind of sounds like the word "repeat" and that's what repetition is!!  It is something that is repeated. 

 

Here are your questions: What are stanzas and what is your favorite Christmas song?

 

                                                                    Joyfully,

 

                                                                        Mrs. B

 



Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Families,

 I want to introduce you to our classroom blog.  You and your child can visit our blog anywhere and anytime you have Internet access.  I will be posting important information about our class and I will also be posting questions for the children to respond to.  Please check here whenever you can to see what's going on! :)  I hope that your family has a SPLENDID Thanksgiving break! I am looking forward to spending time with my family, watching the Thanksgiving parade, and eating lots of dressing (that's my favorite Thanksgiving food).  Students, enjoy your time off and please share how you are spending your holiday break if you have time! I can't wait to read it!

Joyfully,   Mrs. B
