April's Poetry MONTH
We are continuing our Newbery Challenge until April 28th. With that said, we are also running guided reading groups which will focus on interpreting poetry and its elements including meter, rhyme, stanza, tone, and theme. You will seeing Read Works articles come home after our guided reading groups take place. Feel free to ask and discuss any questions surrounding these poems and work with your child to empower their understanding of each literary work of art.
