A poem, by Emma

In third grade, we explore the power of writing through keeping a writer's notebook and living the "writerly life"!  Emma continues to explore her love of poetry and today shared this gift with us:

Falling Slowly

The leaves in the autumn,
the cruel words out the mouth,
falling slowly.

From the start of life,
to the end of time
we are falling slowly.

You have little time to live
spend it wisely
be brave, courageous, and live.
Because we are all, falling, slowly.

-Emma

Welcome to the 2014-2015 School Year!

We are in for quite a terrific year of learning!  So far, students in grade 6 have created their own organizations/clubs; students in grade 3 have already filled up many pages in their writer's notebooks; students in grade 2 have demonstrated excellent teamwork skills; 4th grade students have uncovered the elements of a civilization and are reading The Girl Who Owned a City by O. T. Nelson and students in grade 5 are eagerly awaiting their first trip the Central Brevard Humane Society for Canine Commandos!  It's only October 6th! 

Please enjoy some of the artifacts of our learning together!
