Writing
In writing, we finished picking three favorite poems that work with our poetry themes for our anthologies. Next week, we will write our own poems! Also, we will continue editing articles for the second issue of our classroom newsletter. The class is very excited that our first newsletter has been printed and is ready to read. They look amazing! We will be celebrating our writing this Monday by reading our articles in the outside learning center! Students are allowed to bring an extra snack to eat during the celebration.
