Poetry and More!

We had a fun and busy last week before break! I enjoyed meeting with you all for conferences this week to discuss your child's academics and progress. We received the art trophy, worked hard in Literacy Lab, continued to work on writing different kinds of poems, and students made the cover and title pages for our Poetry book. Students also completed a self-evaluation to share with their families for conferences, we finished reading our book 101 Dalmatians as well as watched the movie, and students got to take home their March free book of the month. 
Take a look below for more details on all of this and more in our exciting week!

Our class earned the art trophy and got to display it outside our room all week!

 As always, students worked hard in Literacy Lab. They worked with me on reading and coloring a penguin number book as well as practicing the sight word 'little'.
Students worked with Mrs. Ball on reading a letter book.
 They also worked hard on their iReady lessons as well!
We continued to work on writing different types of poems. Last week we learned All About Me, Alphabet, and 5 Senses Poems. This week we worked on -ing and list poems. Take a look at some examples of each type below. I forgot to get an example of an -ing poem but each line has a word that ends with -ing. When we come back from Spring Break, we will be learning 2 more types of poems and then working on making our Poetry Book!

All About Me Poems
 Alphabet Poems
 5 Senses Jellybean Poem
List Poem
Students worked on making the cover of our Poetry Book.
It turned out awesome!
They also worked on our title page and it turned out great!
 We continued to practice sounding out CVC words.
Students completed a self-evaluation and shared them with their families at conferences.
We finished reading our book 101 Dalmatians so we got to watch the movie and the students loved it! We will start reading a new book after break.

Students were so excited to receive their free book of the month for March!
Our collection ended and thank you so much to everyone who donated money! Our class ended up in 6th place but more importantly, our school ended up raising over $2,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!!
