It's Beach Day.


It has been an eventful week.
Today we had a little Beach Boys music, a pail of sand with word families to dig for, and a little picnic snack on our towels.

We have embarked on a poetry writing excursion. We have talked about seeing things in a fresh new way...(a pencil holder is like a cage for an elf) (a paper chain is like a keychain for a giant) The class has been most creative. You could help your child practice using objects in your environment. The other component of poetry is music. Authors use line breaks and organization of words to tell their readers how to read their work. This seemed a little trickier for most to produce, but they totally recognize it in others' work.

OOOhhhh, and we are patiently awaiting our first sprouts in our grassheads. Ask your child the ingredients and directions to make one.
