Hi students and families! This week was my first solo week through Champlain College! Vasanthi let me be in charge for the past week and it was amazing! We began a new math unit, focusing on multiplication strategies. We also started a poetry unit. We looked at the structure of poems and each student had the chance to pick their favorite line from a "mentor text". With these lines, we created poems. Each table came up with a different poem involving the words they chose from poems they read. It was a great time! In reading groups Vasanthi and I have been working with individual reading groups to illustrate and understand specific poems. We are hoping to have a final poetry SLAM to celebrate their hard work! This has been such a fun week, I must thank you all for giving me this opportunity! Especially a shout out to the kids, they have been AMAZING! Next week, after break, I will be doing my second solo week. We are going to be working on writing more poetry and truly focusing on making each student the best poet they can be! I hope you all have a wonderful break!
