Welcome to November!

Hello everyone!  This week we have started studying and writing poetry in language arts!  We have been reading poems from a couple of websites that have great collections of poetry for kids!  Hopefully these poems will inspire our students to become more interested in writing and reading more poetry from various authors.  In social studies we have begun a unit on European explorers.  This week we started with Cabeza de Vaca'a exciting story of how he and his men eventually made it to Texas.  On Friday we will have our next spelling test on homophones.  Spelling homework will also be due on the same day.  If you are interested in taking a look at the poetry websites I've been using for our lessons, check out Poetry 4 Kids and Giggle Poetry!  Thanks for your continued support!
