Classroom News: April 11th

Dear Barn Swallow Families,

Students are busy preparing for their student led conferences which are coming up quickly! It appears that almost everyone has signed up for their child's conference. If you haven't yet, please be sure to stop by the school office to sign up for a time. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday night!

Students will continue to prepare for their conferences this week. I am very impressed with the fluent and expressive reading I am hearing while students prepare to read aloud. Students will be reflecting upon how they have grown throughout the school year by looking at their goals from the beginning of the year, as well as rereading their earliest writing pieces.

I'm hoping to begin free verse poetry this week. We had a great time last week reading the students' free verse poems from last year and students were excited to start creating poetry on their own.

We are hoping to finish the bird models that we have been working on SO hard- in time to share them with you at conferences. Students researched native birds and have been learning about their birds' interdependence within their 'watery ecosystem'!

I will see you all very soon!

Sincerely,

Sherry
