Welcome to February! We will be having our Poetry Cafe on Wednesday, February 5. We will be reciting poetry in our classroom. We went home on Thursday with our Poetry booklets of the poems we learned in class. We are to chose one of the poems and recite it to our classmates. No need to memorize. A letter about our Poetry Cafe went home on Thursday, January 30 with a Rubric of how we will be graded. Please help your child recite their chosen poem over the weekend.
