Haikus: A Student Exhibition
On March 6, 2008 we will be having our annual Literacy Night. This night will mainly focus on student’s sharing what they know and what they have learned in the area of literacy. In our classroom we will be doing an exhibition on haiku, a Japanese form of poetry.
Studying Japan is a part of the 1st grade Social Studies curriculum. We have learned some very interesting facts about Japan. We are combining Social Studes, Language Arts, and Science to create some pretty fancy haikus about nature. During literacy night students will be presenting their haikus as well as sharing what they have learned about Japan and the art of poetry writing. Please ask your student what they have learned thus far and remember to join us for Literacy Night on March 6, 2008.
