Good Morning, Poetry Readers,

Please come in, wash your hands and read your new poem.  While you are up, you should also put your library books on the cart.  I expect that you will work efficiently.

While I was out and about this weekend, I couldn't help but notice the foliage.  It was amazing in some places.  I pondered though about why it seems that the leaves aren't fully changed yet.  Do you know why this is?

Once you finish your assigned morning work, please either organize  your desk or illustrate your new poem.  _Kayla__________, __Olivia_______ and _Sara________ will share.

Dear Workers,

Hello there!  I hope you are doing well today.  Please order your lunch and update your reading status.  I am curious to see the quantity of reading you did.  If you are efficient with that, you can have some time to tidy your desk and then write in your writer's notebook.  That should quench your desire to write!

We will have an extraordinary visitor later today.  It will be a fun way to end our day.  We will have to work quickly during writing to accommodate the change in schedule.  I know you can do it!

Happy October,

It is a fun time of year with pumpkins, apples and costume planning.  I look forward to enjoying this time of year with you.  Eli will do the announcements.  Mrs. Landahl will be in today so we will not have share time. 

Please read your new poem and put it in your poetry folder clips.  Next, please think about last week's Mentor Sentence.  Can you please fill in the last box with a sentence of your own that imitates Kate DiCamillo's sentence...remember this sentence gets to be completely made up by you, but it should follow the pattern of "Rob floated through the rest of the morning."

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
