POETRY!

We are enjoying poetry in the classroom! Please help your child find an object from nature such as a rock, shell, flower, or anything else that we can use to practice writing descriptive words.

We will also recognize the poetry in our everyday speech. Please help your child write down any phrases that they say or hear if they recognize poetry in the words!

Have a Great Break!

See you again on Monday April 12th!

Living and Nonliving

Our discussion of living and nonliving things has taken an unexpected turn. The children have toyed with the idea that the distinction between living and nonliving is that living things were made by God while nonliving things were made by people. This distinction will not work as people did not make rocks!

Please be assured that I have defered all questions of a religious nature to you!

This would be a great topic of conversation over break. It would be great if you would comment on this post with your family's theory on the distinction between living and nonliving!
