Grade 4 Assembly Reflections

Our class was very moved by the Grade 4 assembly today and so when we went back to our class and had a discussion about what it means for children to have rights. After our discussion I gave students a choice to write about anything they wanted, either from the assembly or anything else, they could write a poem, story, facts, letter. Below are 2 students acrostic poems they wrote in response to the assembly.

Keep Your Brain Sharp This Summer!

This summer, when you are looking for things to do, grab these and enjoy getting some learning done in a fun and creative way. I made three documents for you to use to practice some skills and keep your brain sharp. You can also find them on my classroom blog Miss Rorey’s Room. Print them out, color in each box you complete and bring it to me at the beginning of the next year so that I can celebrate in your success. Keep up the good work, even over the summer!

Poetry from Grade 3MCA

Poetry has really taken off in class 3McA!

We have read and written cinquains and we have read lots of different form of poetry! We were inspired by the following poem by Pie Corbette, “If I Had Wings.”

After reading this poem we decided to write a class poem with everyone contributing a line. We hope you enjoy it!
