Weekly Update

This week we are working on different versions of a Cinquain poem. What is a cinquain poem, you might ask. It is a poem with only 5 lines, but there are different ways to create one. Here's a link to show you some varieties with examples. http://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/davidc/6c_files/Poem%20pics/cinquaindescrip.htm Students wrote at least one poem today and shared it with the class. I will challenge them to try a different version tomorrow.

Pre-K through 3rd grade will be marching in the Palm Sunday Parade during Chapel on Wednesday. We have been asked to bring noise makers. If your child has a noisy toy, such as a kazoo, maraca, shaker, etc., they are welcome to bring it tomorrow so that I can see how many extra we will need on Wednesday.

In History today, we learned about India. We learned about the location, climate, population, religion, and a little bit about the caste system. If your child would like to learn more, I've provided some links on the right side of this page.
