Happy Friday!
Today is "A" day, so a big HAPPY FRIDAY goes out especially to the students in these classes:
Ms. Wilcox 3rd grade, Ms. Shaw's 5th grade, Ms. Sicht's Kindergarten, Ms. Snyder's 1st grade, and Mr. Smith's 2nd grade!
And now, its time for a . . . .
FUN FACT!
Today is National Haiku Poetry Day.
"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 3 lines. The first and last line of a Haiku contain 5 syllables (a syllable is a part of a word pronounced as a unit.), and the middle line consists of 7 syllables. Here is a Haiku to help you remember:
I am first with five
Then seven in the middle --
Five again to end.
Here is a "What Am I?" haiku:
Green and speckled legs,
Hop on logs and lily pads
Splash in cool water.
(Can you guess what it is?)
I found this information from the website KidZone: https://www.kidzone.ws/poetry/haiku.htm
You can go to that website and have fun creating Haiku poems of your own. It really is fun once you have gotten the hang of it! Here is a Haiku that I created myself several years ago after visiting friends in Arizona:
Beautiful cactus
Vivid green in the blue sky.
My, your needles hurt!
Okay, Friends! That is all for now . . . see you again on Monday!
I miss you!
