Today we celebrated our hard work and dedication to writing. All year students have been saving their best pieces to showcase to their families and friends. Three students were brave enough to present in front of the class ! #IslipRising #SuccessAtCRES

Today we took a nature walk for our poetry unit ! We are looking for things to smell, hear, touch and see in nature ! #SucessAtCRES #IslipRising

Todays poetry lesson is onomatopoeia ! We worked in groups to determine the sound that matched the picture or phrase. I am incredibly proud of how hard they worked and how well their group work was !

Today we learned about understanding a character through their actions ! We watched a disney short film Bao and described what happened in the story. This was the first time we did this and we made great connections
