Just a quick update on what we are doing... POETRY!!
The 6th grade did a poem graffiti wall today. They had to write three poems in 30 minutes that rhymed, had refrain, and used sensory language. Here they are! There are a bunch of silly poems, but I overheard "This is fun! I hope we do it again." Happy, happy teacher!
Heads up 6th grade parents: I will be sending home a permission slip next week to be able to have the students ride a trolley to the radio station to record an ad for Catholic Schools Week. We will be going January 19th at 1:00. You can hear these ads throughout the week of Catholic Schools Week, which is the first week in February.
The 7th grade read "The Charge of the Light Brigade" today. They seemed a little bored with it, but I just love this poem. Hopefully one or two liked it! They will be writing their own narrative poem tomorrow.
The 8th grade has put poetry off to the side to write their Catholic Schools Week newspaper article. We will start in on poetry tomorrow with lyrical poems.
