Spelling
There is no spelling list this week. We will be focusing on creating our memory quilts and completing a writing sample of our personal opinion.
Poem of the Week
Who Am I?
by Felice Holman
The trees ask me,
And the sky,
And the sea asks me
Who am I?
The grass asks me,
And the sand,
And the rocks ask me
Who I am.
The wind tells me
At nightfall,
And the rain tells me
Someone small.
Someone small
Someone small
But a piece
of
it
all.

Poem of the Week
The Wrong Start
I got up this morning and meant to be good,
But things didn’t happen the way
that they should.
I lost my toothbrush,
I slammed the door,
I dropped an egg
On the kitchen floor,
I spilled some sugar
And after that
I tried to hurry
And tripped on the cat.
Things may get better. I don’t know when.
I think I’ll go back and start over again.

Poem of the Week
The New Kid on the Block
There’s a new kid on the block,
and boy, that kid is tough,
that new kid punches hard,
that new kid plays real rough.
That new kid’s big and strong,
with muscles everywhere,
that new kid tweaked my arm,
that new kid pulled my hair.
That new kid likes to fight,
and picks on all the guys,
that new kid scares me some,
(that new kid’s twice my size).
That new kid stomped my toes,
that new kid swiped my ball,
that new kid’s really bad,
I don’t care for her at all.
