This week we will be starting a unit on poetry writing. Students will be introduced to several different kinds of poetry including Haiku, Limerick and Concrete. Students will then write poems in these styles. We will continue to work on our typing skills 1-2 times a week in the computer lab. The free website that we will use is http://www.freetypinggame.net if you would like to access it at home. Another great site that you can encourage your child to use at home is called http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/.
