Poetry Cafe

In honor of National Poetry Month, we transformed our classroom into a Poetry Cafe. Each child selected a poem and read it aloud for everyone. We had a wonderful turn out and the children loved sharing their poems on the stage in front of their families. Here is Poetry Cafe presented by our very own 1st and 2nd grade students:



This week each child will be selecting their Ohio bird and we will begin the research part of the study. The children will also begin creating a clay bird in art this week. The children are already loving reading about birds in the field guides so I can't wait to watch the children transform into experts on their Ohio birds.

Also this week, we will:

• Continue our weather observations
• Read in small groups 
• Continue to read Birdbrain Amos by Michael Delaney 
• Observe in the garden 
• Write our own personal bird stories 
• Have our Cooperation Celebration since we finally earned all of the stickers for our Indoor Recess Clean-Up!
