I hope everyone noticed in the disclosure that the students are expected to pass off one monthly poem for a grade.  I send the poems home with them at the beginning of the months and post a picture of the poems on the blog.  Please start working with your child on the September poems.  They will need to recite them from memory in front of the class.  This is so good for the students!  I know they can do it.  

Also, every student must complete a Great Brain Report each month from a Chapter Book that they are reading at school/home.  The students will need to turn them into me by the end of the month, and they will also need to present them to the class.  So, they need to make sure they can read it independently and practice their report before they turn it in before the month is over.  Thank you so much for all of your support!
