On This Tuesday, With Words We Play

Hello Team!

Couplets were our poems for this day
We read some and wrote some to display

We worked on our rhymes
And on meter and time

Leaving school smarter than when we began,
We learned that our teacher is rhyming's biggest  fan!

Ask your child to tell you about couplets.  Can they name the pattern? Yes, they can!
Today we were treated to a guest speaker from the Chicago Public Library.  Ms. Laura came to the pod to tell us about the CPL Summer Learning Program.  The Library is partnering with the Museum of Science and Industry.  The activities, and the perks and prizes, are amazing!  Follow this link to learn more about the program.  I hope that all of my students will participate!
Full Steam Ahead: Chicago Public Library Summer Learning Program

Tonight at home:
-Complete one vocabulary activity and one spelling activity
-The Math test has been pushed back until Thursday.
-We will take the Theme 6 test on Thursday and Friday.


Tomorrow is Field Day!
Students brought home a note today, and had a chance to ask questions.  Please bring a towel to sit on, a picnic lunch and games.  Nerf type balls are o.k.!  The school will provide a snack and water, but students should bring extra water and sunscreen.

Rain plan: We will play in the CAC.  Students should bring board games, cards,  or art or craft supplies.

Please do not bring: glass containers, electronics of any kind, hard basketballs, footballs, etc., bats, things with wheels such as skate boards....

Students who forget to bring lunch will be able to get lunch in the cafeteria during our regular lunch time.  

Rain or shine, it should be a great day!
