Happy New Year! We're back to school and hard at work! In January we will be doing our poetry unit.
Monday- We will share about our breaks, Read Out Loud, do a Caught 'Ya, and learn how to read a poem out loud. We will also introduce our first poetry assignment which is to memorize and recite one of four poems in front of class (due next Monday). We will begin memorizing the first four lines today.
Tuesday- We will do Read Out Loud, Caught 'Ya, and we'll continue to memorize our poem. We'll go over various poetry terms and listen to our first poem set to music, "The Highwayman".
Wednesday- We will go to the library to get a book for our Weekly Reading Report. It should be a book you have not read before and should be at least 200 pages long. We'll ROL, do a Caught 'Ya, and review nouns (quiz Friday over nouns). We'll also introduce onomatopoeia, find it in "The Highwayman" and write an eight line poem using onomatopoeia.
Thursday- Mrs. Malloch's class will be doing SRI testing and silent reading when the test is finished. Ms. Naber's class will do ROL, Caught 'Ya, and rehearse their poem. There will be a noun quiz, and we'll write an "I Am" poem.
Friday- Ms. Naber's class will be doing SRI testing and silent reading when the test is finished. Mrs. Malloch's class will do ROL, Caught 'Ya, and rehearse their poem. There will be a noun quiz, and we'll write an "I Am" poem.
