More about my class:

Last week I had them write a poem.. like a name poem, but more like (I'll post mine.. lol)
Anastasia
It means creative, friendly, and smart,
It is the number 9,
It is like the ocean during the day,
It is Christmas on the ranch,
It is the memory of my mom,
who taught me manners & respect,
When I was growing up,
My name is Anastasia,
It means working hard to achieve your dreams.

It's like you fill in each part that is you. They did really good. I was actually, (this is sad) surprised, that they did so good. Haha. In the book it was like, write a poem about the wind.. & I was like, uh yeah right.. so I had them do this poem instead. I think I'm going to find out if I can have them put up in the library. I think that they will get a big kick out of that. :)

I think that I might have them write another poem.. & the next thing we are going to work on is a nonfiction piece.. hopefully they will have an easier time with that than they do with fiction, well, I guess they aren't that bad.. haha
