Black History Month
Students in Ms. Ellen’s class planned, researched, and wrote biographies for Black History Month. They used a graphic organizer (a staple of May Way writing) to plan the information they would need to complete their paragraph. And this was the first time students used their computers for research.
Excellent work, budding historians!
RSVP for An Evening of Art
May School is excited to offer An Evening of Art for Intermediate students and their families on Thursday, March 10, at 6:00 PM.
This community event is an opportunity for you to view some of our impressive student artwork and participate in a hands-on art experience with your family. (No special art skills required.) Siblings welcome!
Please fill out this RSVP form by Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
Diamante Poems
As a way to study word forms, poets in Ms. Jennifer’s class have been writing diamante poems, which take the following structure:
Noun
Adjective - Adjective
Verb - Verb - Verb
Noun - Noun - Noun - Noun
Verb - Verb - Verb
Adjective - Adjective
Noun
As you see from these two examples pictured, the completed poem ends up taking the shape of a diamond. You may also notice that the poems take a turn from start to finish, and yet there remains a thread throughout. Chickens and foxes. Turtles and rabbits. Each different, yet each connected.
