Well, can you believe how quickly the school year has gone? Of course, it always seems to be the busiest time of the year as well! Our class research projects on animals and their habitats was very successful. Many parents and friends showed up which made for a very satisfying day! Our kids were a little tired at the end of the day( how many times can you talk about a giraffe? lol) but it also served as a very worthwhile learning experience!
We just finished with our unit on poetry today and I collected some really beautiful and original poetry written by our 5th graders. I am so proud of the efforts these kids have placed into this project from their illustrated covers to the personalized dedications to poems both written by them as well as poems collected by them. For the collected poems, students had to share in writing why they chose these poems and what connections they made between the poem and something in their life. I can't wait to look them over this weekend!
And...it's Mother's Day weekend!! Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms-to-be, moms, and grandmoms out there!
Until next time, enjoy this lovely spring weather! _________________ Have a great day;-)
