News Team #1: Friday.

I gave my students the guidelines for our Poetry Cafe activity which will be due on Friday, Dec. 15.  I also gave them a list of possible poets from which to choose.  This is only a partial list, and your child can certainly choose a poet that is not on it.  I am encouraging them to read poems by different poets, especially ones with whom they are not already familiar.  I would really love for everyone to discover a new poet and new poetry that he or she finds interesting and engaging.   I will hand out the worksheet for the activity and further explain expectations on Thursday.
