April was a special month filled with poetry and Open Houses, and yes a restful week of Spring Break!
In addition to poetry, in some lower elementary grade classrooms we explored series chapter books such as ABC Mysteries and Calendar Mysteries. In the upper elementary classes we discussed plagiarism - what it is and how to avoid plagiarizing by paraphrasing and citing sources.
We also discussed new books such as Rebound, the prequel to Crossover by Kwame Alexander. Sunny, Jason Reynold's third book in his Track series is now in the libraries.
Ms. Swisher's class held their Book Nomination Celebration on Monday, April 30th in the Neil Cummins Library. Students presented their nominations for books that they think deserve an award.
