Just chillin’
with Hoppy and her visor!
Welcome to
Mrs. Hopkins’s Language Arts class web page.
We have begun our last unit of the year…poetry. We will be making a book with 5 original
works of poetry along with illustrations.
(This will be done entirely in class.)
Also, we will memorize a Shel Silverstein poem
and recite it in class. Both the book
and the recitation will count as test grades, so please encourage your child to
do his/her best on both projects. As
always, please let me know if you have any questions…we have had a good year so
far, but it’s not over yet! Please keep
your child focused on academics as much as possible.
Parents: There will
only be homework posted on days that it is assigned.
