Shape and Concrete Poetry

This week and next we will be exploring the genre of POETRY! We are learning that to create poems that are vivid and clear, we want to use as many of our senses as possible. Our senses are: taste, touch, smell, hear, and see. One type of poetry that we have learned about is Shape or Concrete Poetry. You can create your own Shape Poetry at http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/shape/. Clink on the link to go there now!

Creative Re-use Projects!

On the last day of Earth Week, we decided to get creative reusing some items from home that would normally be thrown away or recycled. It was fun to put together items to make abstract art! Great job being super creative Room 4!

On Monday I began teaching a bit of conversational Spanish. Room 4 comes through the door greeting me with a traditional Spanish greeting and leaves the room trying their new skill of saying goodbye in Spanish. Above you will find our class saying goodbye for the day in one or two of the four ways we have learned. This is only the beginning... We are still learning :)

We were so excited to send out our Flat People. The flat versions of students in our class were sent out all over the U.S. and beyond. Some flat friends have began arriving in our mailbox with many adventures to tell.
