We listened to some rap this week to learn about the elements of fiction.
Ask your child to sing the chorus. It's quite catchy!

Valentine's Day Workshop
VALENTINE'S DAY POETRY AND CARD WORKSHOP
Come join Metro Denver Promotion of Letters (MDPL) and create poetry for personalized Valentine’s Day cards, as well as the cards themselves! This workshop is two sessions on two Saturdays. The first Saturday will be in two parts. The first half of the day we will write poetry and brainstorm poems for our loved ones -- and for others. The second half of the day we will create beautiful works of art in the shape of Valentine’s Day cards. The second Saturday we will spend at The Tattered Cover, where we will offer our cards and poetic services to anyone who would like a custom-made Valentine’s Day card -- written and created by us! We will sell these cards for $5 each, and the proceeds will all go to benefit MDPL and its programs (as well as to pay for the art supplies!). Snacks will be provided, but students should bring a lunch.
