I finally had a week where I could have a POETRY FRIDAY
YAY
we looked at 2 different poems this week
one that was a free verse and one that was a rhyming
the kids enjoyed each one and we made a flippy file folder
inside we sliced and diced the poems apart and wrote notes and studied vocab
the poems came from a must have book...
this is the Common Core one...
and there is a TEKS one for my fellow Texans...
thanks to my buddy Kenoyer for the heads up on this book!!!
I had a special visitor... BIG C
he happens to be the brother of one of my current kiddos and
AND AND the son of one of my best teacher friends.
You might recognize him from this blog because I was given permission to have him on here
when I taught him in 3rd and 4th...
and I plastered his face all over the place!!!
I am super happy that I have his brother this year!!!
These boys are SUPER SMART and have a special place in my heart...
the little one (Little C)... I met when he was just a few minutes old...
seriously!!!
and here is a funny story...
when Big C came into my room I squealed, we hugged, we took selfless, we hugged some more
AND AND AND then he told me he had to go visit his mom...
HE CAME TO ME FIRST!!!!
I asked BIG C... You came to me first?
he said... yep I had to see my favorite teacher!!!!
AHHHHHHHHH....
so sweet
BUT then I remembered.... his mom was his teacher in 5th grade... LOL
heart smiles
I LOVE THAT KID!!!!
LITTLE C looked a little left out so OF COURSE we did a selfie too...
I LOVE THAT KID TOO!!!
