Poetry Celebration

Fourth grade students ended their poetry writing unit with a poetry celebration! During the unit, students wrote poems that incorporated many skills and forms of figurative language: alliteration, simile, metaphor, personification, consonance, idioms, sensory descriptions, and onomatopeia. All poems were structured with lines and stanzas. Antonym diamante poems were also created. Students revised and edited their work before assembling it into a poetry anthology. Some students included every poem that they wrote during the unit, while others were more selective. The writing celebration began with students taking turns reading poems aloud from their anthologies to the audience. Afterwards, they broke into small groups to share their anthology, teach their family and friends one poetic skill from the unit, and write a poem as a group.

 

Valentines Day is February 14

February 14 is Valentines Day. If students choose to bring in valentines, they must have one for each classmate. There will be time for students to pass out their valentines in class.  The class list is on the “class list” page of this blog.

Valentines Day is also our writing celebration. We hope you can join us at 2:00 in the LES library. Please consider sending in a snack to share for after the writing celebration.
