P3

Thanks everyone for your work our classroom expectations for a successful learning environment. I have shared that in an e-mail with your whanau, Mentor teacher and your Dean.

Today we are going to head to the library for the first 15 to 20 minutes to make sure that everyone has a book to read. Regular reading really helps to build the higher order vocabulary that we have been discussing in our written work.

Then we are going return to the R15 and start work on our first poem as part of our creative writing unit.

LI: Is to continue to explore the theme of winter through poems and stories.

SC: I can actively read the poem 'Give me a Storm'
SC: I can work with a partner to contribute to discussions about the meaning of the poem
SC: I can work with a partner to annotate my thoughts about this poem on the A3 sheet
SC: I can work with my partner to write our own version of Give me a Storm.

We will craft and edit our poems to be able to share them on our poetry wall in the classroom and begin to select some to share  on the classroom blog.
