April Vacation Work :)

Hi 4th grade families!

Just a little reminder, complete any or all of your Spring Break packet and receive an extra recess!

Don't forget to bring the packet back with you for Monday.

Monday is also Miss. Fox's last day with us as a student intern and we'll be giving her and Miss. Abby their good bye books, hope you'll be there to help us celebrate! :)

April is Poetry Month!

Students launched our Poetry Unit with some color poems.  Here's a sneak peek at their work :)!

RedRed is the face when your nervous or madRed is when your running and fallRed if when your knees are scrapedRed is as bright as a radishRed is the color of Valentine’s dayIt is the color of the sky at dawn.Tastes like red Kool-AidWhen you’re having a nice drink on a hot dayPoem by Kross

TurquoiseSo happy and funnyIs on the walls, if you want it to be,Is in the sky sometimes,Can be the color of a book you like,Maybe it can be happy,Or sad,On hats,I love the color too,Its like the ocean, or a jacket,Like a turtle, it’s mouthwash,Its not food,Its like a smurf,It’s green and blue together.Poem by Julia
