On Monday we began a poetry unit in language arts. We are looking at all sorts of different kinds of styles, with the goal being to develop poetic enthusiasm and self-espression rather than an extensive analysis of poems. The students will be trying their hand at writing poems over the next few weeks, with a compilation of their best work to be collected and published at the culmination of the unit. On Thursday (March 31) they will be challenged to find a poem that appeals to them to share with the class on Friday.
The silent reading period continues on Fridays. The students have chosen a new novel for their individual study which will culminate in the form of a book report project after Easter.
