15th day of school closing

Dear Students,

Hello and Happy Friday!  A special happy 10th birthday to Keating.  I hope you find a special way to celebrate this unique birthday!

We will have a class meeting at 10:00 today.  Before the meeting, please take a picture that represents your learning this week.  You should post your picture in the Assignments tab of Teams.  Today is a "Catch Up" day.  Look over the entrees for this past week.  Please submit any work that you haven't done yet.  This is also a good day to complete unfinished work from your Just In Case folder.

Have you been following the Progressive Poem?  It is interesting isn't it!??!  Another fun Poetry Month activity is called Poetry Tag.  It's when one person shares a poem and then "tags another person to share a related poem.  The poem can be one you have written or one you have found in a poetry folder, a book, or magazine.  I'll start.  Here is Poetry Tag poem #1

Dunk it
By Melinda Harvey

Pick up two cookies
Pass one to a friend
Nibble just a little
from the bottom end

Hold the tender cookie
as if it were brown silk
Dunk your tasty morsel
into a glass of milk

Count the time in seconds
smile at your buddy
Pull your cookie out
'fore the milk gets all muddy

Put the cookie in your mouth
feel the cream and chocolate blend
Then pick up two more cookies
and pass one to a friend

I challenge Taylor to find a poem that is somehow related and share it with me via email.  I will post Taylor's poem on Monday and tag someone else to continue the game.  

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
