Poems

About two weeks ago, we started doing something new. We started memorizing poems. 4th grade began “The Children’s Hour” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and 3rd grade began “February Twilight” by Sara Teasdale. We recite them each day during spelling class, and I have been SO impressed with how quickly the students have picked them up.

Here is 3rd grade’s poem. 4th grade’s will be up in the next day or so.

“February Twilight”

Fun in the Snow

One of the blessings of having a school on the side of a hill is sledding during lunch recess. The students have been making good use of our hill!
