"It's Monday...What Are You Reading?"
...
And speaking of reading...today Mr. Nozik kissed a pig! He kept to his promise and kissed Penny the pig. Penny was too shy to come into West Hill, so we all went outside to witness this event! While Mr. Nozik did keep to his promise, Penny soon got impatient and the event ended. Congrats to all students who participated in the Summer Reading Challenge! Today in school, we read the John Updike poem, "October." We counted the syllables in each line of the poem, each stanza, and finally the entire poem. As a class, we added up 81 beats in his poem and noticed his pattern. Ask your child about the syllable pattern! We also noticed how John Updike used imagery and a metaphor to help us picture the month of October!
