"It's Monday...What Are You Reading?"

What an exciting Monday morning!  Today we continued our poetry morning work with a close read of John Updike's September.  We will continue to read his poems each month throughout the school year.  His poems are a collection from his book, A Child's Calendar.  In addition to reading the poem, students were introduced to some important poetry vocabulary that we will refer to all year, including words like poetic license, rhythm, rhyme, stanza, explicate, and literary devices.  Ask your child what these terms mean!  Happy reading everyone!
