Week of February 13th

Ah yes, the week of Valentine's Day. This should be a relatively active week as we head into the winter break next week. On Wednesday, February 15th, we will be having a quiz on Unit 9 in Math. The focus will be on division and what remainders mean. On Thursday, we will be having our final vocabulary quiz in Reading on the book Loser. Friday, February 17th, we will be having our final session with the representatives of Free Verse Poetry. The students in the fifth grade will be rehearsing poems written in the first three sessions and then they will be performing these poems for their fellow students in fifth grade. They have been enthusiastic participants and they are really looking forward to performing their poems as well as seeing what the other classes have been up to.

We also experienced Day 3 of Free Verse Poetry where we edited some of our "I Am" poems and presented them to the class. We then worked on and practiced our group "I Am" poems and presented those with the goal of demonstrating more expression and emotion in the presentations. Below are some photos from this workshop.

I hope you all have a happy and safe vacation.
