Happy 20th week of school! We are half way there! (Not that anyone is counting!!!)
This week, as usual, is just another busy week in the classroom. Today I introduced our class poem for SPEECH ARTS. Our poem is titled "Little by Little" by Anonymous. We will recite it often in class, but please go over the poem with your
child at home as well. The local Speech Arts competition is on Monday, March 4.
I will assess them on this poem at the end of February.
Students will also need to learn a poem of
their own choosing. We will have a classroom Speech Arts on Thursday, February28.
They may choose any poem they like but it needs to be 2-3 minutes in length orally.
They must provide the title and author of the poem. They need to memorize the
poem and recite it in the class.
Students will be given three bible readings to
choose from. They will have to recite one but DO NOT NEED to memorize it. I will send home an invitation for the classroom
speech arts closer to the date if any family members are interested in coming.
Thank you!
Overall, students did really well with our Provinces and Capitals Test. I sent it home today along with with last week's math test, mad minutes quiz and Wordly Wise quiz. Please sigh and return to school. If your child received a "Not Yet Within" (that's 0-12 out of 26), they will take a retake next Tuesday.
