Poetry is as Open as a Box

The title is a simile! One of the many elements of poetry we have learned about so far. There are so many types of poems that poetry is like an open box- you never know what it is going to be like or what is inside!

What is your favorite type of poetry so far? Why and do you know any examples?

Rhymes with Orange

This week we learned about rhythym and rhyme- two elements of poetry! In thinking about rhyming words, one of my favorite comic strips popped into my head- "Rhymes with Orange"

Ha. Love it. Why do you think the name of the comic strip is clever? Can you think of any words that rhyme with orange? Are there are any other words that you can think of that don't have a rhyme match?

Brain Food

Did you know that eating a good breakfast can increase your memory and improve your concentration?! According to this website you need to eat a good mix of protein and carbohydrates to have a good school day! This will be especially important this week for the CRCT :)

I usually eat yogurt or cottage cheese for protein and fruits or an english muffin for breakfast. What do you think you will eat?! Will this help improve your concentration?
