Hello parents and students,

Thank you for another superb week.  Everyone has been working so hard and I would like to reward you for this by showing a movie next Friday.

In room 231 this week we explored the following topics:

Gym- we learned some Hip Hop Dance moves.  Everyone did an excellent job and we will carry on with our dance on Monday.  Please bust some moves for your parents.

LA- we started our poetry unit this week.  We talked about what figurative language is and why poets use it.  We covered the following poetic devices: personification, alliteration, hyperbole, onomatopoeia.  We also wrote a selfie poem and three Haiku's with our buddies.  We finished our class novel today and we will being working on some multi-paragraph writing next week.
