Don't forget that book talks start next week. Be sure to help your child choose a great book to present to the class. If at all possible, send the book in with your child on the day of the talk.
Poetry Break:
Your child should have come home with a copy of a poem mostly memorized. Keep practicing this poem with your child for Irving's annual poetry celebration. Every child in the school memorizes a poem and walks around to different classrooms during library time to present the poems. We all love a little poetry break!
If your child loves the poem, encourage them to come back for Art Fest on May 14th. They can walk around and be a traveling poet and recite their poem for anyone who needs a poetry break. There are also musical performances, visual art displays, technology art projects, and spanish games. The culminating event is a poetry slam. Flyers are going home today for kids who want one last chance to perform a poem or song or rap. They can perform in the poetry slam. (This does not need to be the poem that was sent home, but it can be.)
