This is Poem-in-Your-Pocket Week at Pennekamp! Our weeklong event is inspired by national Poem-in-Your-Pocket Day. This week, students are invited to carry a poem in their pocket--to share with a friend, read to the class, or simply for the fun of reaching in a pocket and finding a poem in there! Students can bring their poem to the library and be photographed for our annual "Pocket Poem" poster. Many poetry books are on display again this week in the library. If a student would like to write an original poem for his or her pocket, that would be great! Students can also hand-copy or photocopy one from a book. There are many poetry sites online, but most have poems for adults, with adult content, so parents--please watch out for that.
Almost all classes are hearing books with poems in them or that are written in rhyme. Grade 5 is hearing a book about the changing lyrics of the song we know as "My Country 'Tis of Thee." They will sing various versions of the song at their upcoming culmination ceremony.
The grade 5 book club met last week and has chosen the next and final book for the club this year: The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown. The next meeting will be on June 9, 2016.
