Hunters Bend Elementary First-graders are excited about going to see Aladdin today at Centennial High School. They will be attending the second performance and will picnic in the classroom when they return. Johnson Elementary Sharon Hargrave's multiage class is studying poetry. Students have written cinquains and couplets. Cinquains have five lines of verse that do not rhyme but have a set number of syllables per line with a specific purpose or meaning.
Students enjoy following the pattern to write about familiar things.
The study of animals in fourth grade is continuing. Last week, fiddler crabs arrived. These, along with frogs, live in tanks on the students' desks for several weeks. Students observe them throughout the day and record observations in journals. Snails will be arriving soon.
