Each month your child will be required to learn a poem from our Harp & Laurel book. Last month we enjoyed beautiful recitations of the poem Whole Duty of Children by Robert Louis Stevenson. Our scholars recited the poem in front of the class with a friend. Your child's teacher scored your child based on a 4 point rubric. The grading is as follows:
4 - I recited the poem with feeling and I got all the words right! 3 - I missed one or two words, but I still said it with feeling! 2 - I asked my teacher for help, but I remembered some on my own! 1 - I said it with my teacher, and I can't wait to practice more at home! This rubric is located in your child's poetry folder. Your child's teacher will share your child's poetry folder with you during your Parent/Teacher conference in October. During the first week of the month your child is learning and practicing the poem in class. We recite the poem daily, learn the meaning of each line, and draw a picture which represents the poem. During weeks 2-4 your child is beginning to memorize the poem with your assistance at home. The poem can be found on the newsletter. Please practice the poem daily with your child. September's poem is: Rain by Robert Louis Stevenson The rain is raining all around, It falls on field and tree, It rains on the umbrellas here, And on the ships at sea. Reminders:
