World Read Aloud Day

Today was World Read Aloud Day! This morning, my homeroom read New Day, New Friends by C. Alexander London on our new interactive whiteboard!

Free Verse Poetry

Scholars recently used Carl Sandburg's poem "Fog" to examine how he uses a metaphor to create imagery.

Fog

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

  

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

They then wrote free verse poems about nature using metaphors.

Finally, they added line breaks and stanzas to their poems, and they chose fonts, text colors, pictures, and paper colors that best represented their topics.

The poems are now on display outside of our classroom. Be sure to check them out at Open House!

•    Match electrical symbols to pictures
•    Recognise a complete circuit  from drawings and diagrams
•    Construct circuit diagrams using appropriate symbols
•    Understand how a switch can control devices in series and parallel circuits.
