5th Grade went to Saint Albans today for the parade and ceremony. Cora Thomas (8th grade) did a great job giving a speech. It was very cold and about 2 hours long, but the kids did wonderful. 4th grade did Veterans Day activities with Mrs. Howrigan and Mrs. Heald-Howrigan. In the event that we don't have school tomorrow, the 5th grade should be sure to still reread chapters 9 and 10. 4th grade did not have class with me today, but if they brought their book bags home with them, they can always reread parts of what has been read already. When we returned, we read the poem, In Flanders Field, which is a poem about WWI. We will continue analyzing it when we return to school. If we don't have school tomorrow, maybe a little research about the poem can happen?
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
