Focus On Poetry

Next week your child will be studying poetry in our classroom and in their Penguin Reading Group. As a part of this, I would like the children to share their favorite poems with our group to gain experience reading aloud with expression for an audience, and for children to hear a variety of poems.

This is optional homework. If your child would like to share a poem, your child should give a copy to me by Wednesday, October 12th. Please have your child practice reading it at home and encourage him or her to bring the poem to life by using expression. The poem can be read and does not have to be memorized.
