News! Homework Posting

Hello Parents!

I'd like to let you know that I have a parent/teacher conference sheet posted on the classroom door.  If you can't make it on Monday, I can meet with you at another time after school.

The students have written some excellent poetry and would like to share it with you.  We are going to hold a poetry reading in our "Coffee House" on Friday, October 28 at 11:00.  This is a half-day, so you can take your child with you when you leave if that works for you.  We plan to serve hot apple cider and cookies while you listen to the wonderful words your children have woven together.  We've studied several literacy devices that they have used in their poetry including:  metaphor, simile, personification, rhythm and sensory details.  We hope you can join us on the 28th!

Homework:  Tuesday, October 11

Reading:  Read the article on bones.  Find three main ideas and write three supporting details for each.   Be ready to talk the similarities and differences between the animals you read about and our own bones.

No math homework tonight.

Looking forward to hearing about our students' White House experience!
