HOMEWORK THIS WEEK...
Homework will be a little bit different this week.
Homework bags will be replaced with a Halloween
oral presentation. I am sending home 4 Halloween poems
(also below). The students will choose ONE poem to
practice orally at home. They will be presenting
the poem next Monday, October 29th to the class.
They should use an audible voice and expression for the presentation. They could use props if they wish.
They could have key words of the poem to refer too.
They will have some time to practice on Friday
with a friend, but presentations will be on Monday.
This package will come home on Monday.
Be creative and have fun!!
Choose ONE of the following poems.
Here are the poems that your child could choose from:
The Witch
I’m a mean old witch with a hat,
And I ride on my broom with my cat,
And my shoes are pointed,
And my chin is too,
So you’d better watch out,
Or I might scare you.
Boo!
Hallowe’en Friend
Orange Mr. Pumpkin,
The window frames your grin.
Long after I have gone to bed,
Your candle burns within.
I worked so hard to carve your mouth,
Those circles for your eyes.
And now you light this special night -
A Hallowe’en surprise!
I’m Waiting
I’m waiting…
for Hallowe’en to come,
for goblins to scowl,
for witched to howl,
for cats to yowl,
for ghosts to fly,
for werewolves to cry,
and then I’ll know it’s
Hallowe’en!
Hallowe’en Manners
Hallowe’en will soon be here,
I like to trick-or-treat.
I’ll dress up in a costume,
And walk along the street.
It’s fun to knock at every door,
And scare the folks I meet.
And when they give me goodies,
I’ll thank them for my treats.
A few updates from last week:
Madame MC's grade fours visited our class and presented their presentations on safety.
In Visual Arts, the grade 2's learned about various lines. We learned about straight, curvy, jagged and broken lines. They were busy working on their line shoe art. They did a wonderful job and we will be displaying them in the classroom.
