Highlights:
Our two classes met up with Mrs. Zaharichuk
this morning to continue with our We Do! Projects. After a brief recap of the expectations,
students once again worked together with their partners to complete their
animals. There were in depth
conversations going on regarding the processes and compromising between
peers. We will continue this work
tomorrow.
Today we began to explore the world of
poetry. Students got to hear different
styles of poetry and realized that sometimes the words would rhyme, some of the
passages were hard to understand and that poems are shorter than stories. Students got to then try their own hand at
writing acrostic poems about themselves.
After being taught how to write proper sentences, it was difficult was
students to let go of the usual writing expectations and let their ideas flow
freely.
Goodbye to our friend Aubri! Today was her last day at PHS. We all wish her luck at her new school and
will always remember her smile and friendship!
