We have a lot of exciting things taking place in Room 12 this week.
- Our 5th graders will be Reading the last American Revolution story from HM entitled: James Forten in Team Time. There will be no Spelling Words other than the 10 holiday words from last week.
- Poetry-We are putting the finishing touches on our final drafts of poems: Cinquains, Diamantes, Free Verse, Couplets, Acrostics and our Haikus. Each student is practicing their memorization and recital skills of their two poems...
