Greetings, Friends & Families!<\/strong> <\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the family of Room 107 at Howe school, we wish you very safe and beautiful Holidays and a New Year. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poem of the week<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>A Secret<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know why the pine trees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stand so straight and tall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread their branches thick and fine,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And never stoop at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It really is a secret<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which the North Wind told to me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every pine tree hopes someday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to be a Christmas tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/strong> What was happening? <\/span><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the explorers were busy discovering all the magic about the letter of the week, the letter I<\/strong>. They worked very hard in tracing, coloring, matching, sounding out, and identifying the letter I<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To improve our reading comprehension, we used the book that has the title “There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow!” by “Lucille Colandro” to answer questions such as, “Who was the character in the story?”, “When did the story take place?”, “Where did the story take place?”, and “what was the story about?”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the book<\/p>\n\n\n\n
