The Best Part of Me
As part of our social emotional unit, students will be writing a poem about the best part of themselves. I am also asking you to write a poem about the best part of your child. I am hoping that through this activity students will develop positive perspectives about themselves.
Your child will be brought home a letter with the directions and an example poem that I wrote about my niece, and an envelope before spring break. Once you have completed your poem place it in the envelope and seal it. Please do not share your poem with child. I would like for them to read it for the first time in class.
Due to the demands of testing, I was unable to have students begin their poems. We will begin working on them this week. Please try to have your poem turned in by Friday April 1st. Thank you to everyone that has already sent in their poems.
Our classes will be writing a book!! In conjunction with Studentreasures Publishing company, each student will have two pages in their classes book. One page will feature original text and the second will showcase the students' illustration that goes along with their text.
Our book will be titled Science Is...A Collection of Acrostic Poems. Students will be completing their pages in class. Coming home today is an order form for you to order your child a copy of the book. Please look over the order form. If you are interested in ordering follow the directions on the form. There are directions for paying online and by sending in cash or check. Please write your child's name on the form where it indicates. At the bottom of the form their is a place for you to sign. By signing the form you are giving your permission for your child's work to included in the book. There is also a place for you to check that you are not interested in ordering at this time. If I get back all of the forms. I will get a free copy of the book that will be on display in our classroom.
This week in science we will continue to focus on how the rotation of the Earth causes the sun and other stars to appear to move across the daytime and nighttime sky. We will also discuss why we see different constellations at different times of the year due to the Earth revolution around the Sun. Our orbit around the sun is also why we have seasons.
