 In writing we are kicking off our new unit of poetry. We will be learning how to write haiku, free verse, diamanté, couplet,acrostic, and many more.We will be having a big poetry recital the last day of school before the winter break when students will recite a winter poem and an original holiday poem that they wrote. There will be hot chocolate, croissants, cider and many fancy students dressed up in their dresses and suits. Parents will be invited to this poetry extravaganza!
