30th day of school closing

Happy Friday,

Hello!  Thanks for checking in today.  We will have a meeting today at 11:30.  Please take a picture that represents your learning this week.  You can either email it to me or Turn it in through Teams.

This week, you have had a chance to work with Persuasive Essays.  I have been enjoying your work.  Many of you have a knack for convincing others that you are right.  What topic would you write about if you got to chose?  Think about this before the meeting.

David is up in Poetry Tag. I hope he will share his poem with you at morning meeting!  Here is his poem:

To Bless the Space Between Us 

By John O’Donghue 

This is the time to be slow, 

Lie low to the wall 

Until the bitter weather passes. 

Try, as best you can, not to let 

The wire brush of doubt 

Scrape from your heart 

All sense of yourself 

And your hesitant light. 

If you remain generous, 

Time will come good; 

And you will find your feet 

Again on fresh pastures of promise, 

Where the air will be kind 

And blushed with beginning. 

Kindly,

Mrs. Harvey
