Cinquain Poem

We are writing cinquain poems in the class, and this is an great example of using word choice to establish mood.  The sinking of the Titanic was an emotional event, and I think this poet describes it well in 5 lines.

Shipwrecked

Titanic,

Screaming people,

Rescue boats afloat,

Falling beneath the waves,

Missing.

Pet Corral Enhances Positive Learning Environment!

Thanks to the Pet Corral in Saint John, the students in our class have a new pet.  This baby Crested Gecko arrived at the end of the day today amidst much anticipation.  It was a little camera shy when the picture was taken, but we are sure it will warm up to the spot light in no time!  This classroom pet would not have been possible if it wasn't for the help of the Pet Corral.  They donated the terrarium and all the things that make for a great gecko home; it arrived in the class with a smile on its face!  The smile was almost as big as the smile on the students' faces.  Thanks!
