Blog Post #2

Hi Kiser Readers!  What a great week we had using the iPads at school and creating our own original poetry.  I am so proud of each of you!  I want to say a big, "Thank You!" to Mrs. Engbarth for all her help this week, too.  Next week, we are going to continue with our technology lessons and focus on how to use our school Google accounts with Google Chromebooks!  Each of you are also going to have the chance to create some more poetry, so I can't wait until next week!

I have a super-short book commercial for you - it is for Jack Prelutsky's My Dog May Be a Genius, which is a great collection of poetry.  These creative poems feature figurative language, like onomatopoeia, like we talked about in the library this week, as well as funny subjects of the poems who have all sorts of experiences to share with us, the reader!  We have several copies of Mr. Prelutsky's book at the library, so visit the 800 section of the library and check one out soon!  See you at school...
