Happy Thursday, Division 10! I hope you have all had a great week so far! Yesterday was a bit rainy but I hope you had a chance to get some fresh air anyways! Today we will be working on poetry and have our Zoom Math sessions this afternoon. Here are today’s activities:
1) Acrostic Poetry- an acrostic poem uses one word that is written vertically and then each of those letters has a word or sentence written about it that starts with that letter. The words or sentences need to focus on the letter that is written vertically. For example, if the word is “BOOK”, each of the lines needs to have a sentence that talks about books in some way. I have created an example with the word “RAIN”. Check it out below!
You will notice that all my sentences focus on the topic of rain and each sentence begins with the next letter in the word “rain”. It’s your turn! A) Brainstorm sentences that connect to the word “SPRING” (ex. Sunshine heats up our classroom in May and June). You need to have a sentence for each letter in the word “SPRING”. Write “SPRING” vertically on a piece of paper and come up with some sentences that start with each letter. If you want another idea of how to write an acrostic poem, watch this video *HERE*
B) Once you have come up with your sentences and checked the writing for sentence sense, spelling, and proper capital and period usage, you can then create your good copy. The good copy page can be found below:
Then if you would like, decorate the page and then email it to me! Thank you!
2) Zoom Math- grade 2’s: 1 PM (we will continue to work on borrowing), grade 3’s: 2 PM (we will continue to work on division). Don’t forget to bring paper, a marker, a pencil, and an eraser. See you there!
3) Read for 20 minutes. Or, if you have not done so yet, read, record, and complete the quiz on the assigned reading for Raz Kids.
Don’t forget your totem pole art is due tomorrow! Have a great day!
