Audio Poem: Seal


This week, Mrs. Yollis' class is learning about poetry! 


When reading a poem aloud it is important to:
1. Practice reading the poem in a clear voice.
2. Change the sound of your voice to help express the idea of the poem.
3. Pause a little at the end of each line. Pause longer at punctuation marks.
4. Look up at your listeners whenever you can.
 

Have a listen as we recite the poem Seal by the poet William Jay Smith.

Readers:  Ryan, Tucker, Iman, Lindsay, Hannah, and Amitai



How did you like the poem?

Three Students Earn Their Own Blog!

In Mrs. Yollis' class, students can earn their own blogs by writing quality comments and demonstrating responsible classroom habits.  Although it was very difficult for Mrs. Yollis to choose because everyone has been writing quality comments, she chose Grace, Jaden, and Ryan to start their own blogs!

Click on the link below each blog to visit and hopefully leave a quality comment!











What do you think of the idea of earning a blog?

Do you have any post ideas to recommend to the new bloggers?
