Congratulations to all the 6th graders!

While all teachers are excited for our students’ move to secondary school, I will miss my 6th graders. I wish them great success as they embark on exciting new experiences. I am so proud of each and every one of “my potatoes” in the graduating Class of 2017.

Instead of “goodbye,” I will say “until we meet again!”

Have a terrific summer!

Swimming is fun
you can swim in the sun.
You can swim at night
Need a little bit of light.

Poems with book titles!

Good afternoon!

Have you heard of “book spine poetry?” It’s a kind of poetry that you don’t really write. You “find” it by arranging book titles to make a poem.

This type of poem can be serious or funny, just like in regular poetry. We document them by taking pictures:

Hello,

this morning our young explorers are investigating. Bees!:

Bees are insects. Everyone knows about at least one part of their anatomy: Its stinger. They have six legs, four wings and two antennae. They are black with yellow stripes. They eat pollen in the flowers. Bees buzz and they are members of the colony.
