AMBULANCE kicked of "A" for our final days of school countdown. There are 26 more days left so each day will be a different letter of the alphabet. Be ready for bubbles on Monday! In the words of BJ, "I'm excited for W!"
Each student created family tree this week on an online website. We included cousins and great grandparents. Next week we will compare common names in our families, find each others cousins and get to know about our families history. In the words of Kobi, "I liked typing on the computer."
We are starting to explore poetry. Everyone loves finding words that rhyme...right?! We started a spring poem in Music that we will finish next week. Claire and BJ are working on parts of speech and will find them in our poems. We did an art project with poetry about rain and glitter. And finally we guessed titles of poems Paula read from the book Dear Hot Dog by Mordicai Gerstein. Here is Lucy's favorite poem...
We've become strangers
this winter.
I almost never
see you.
Muffled in your
thick, red socks
I can't hear what you're
saying.
We used to be close,
whispering together
under the covers,
telling each other stories.
Now I see you
in the bath
sometimes,
looking old
and wrinkled.
This summer
I'll kick off my shoes
and get to know
you again.
You love warm sand
and playing tag with
the icy, lacy, racing,
surf,
and digging
in the wet
for crabs
or clams.
Toes!
I miss you.
