Fishing for Water and Writing Poems

By: Charmaine A.S. and Josephine D.


This week we got fresh water for the fish from the lake, twice. 

 Keilan W bringing water to the tote.
 Walking back to the truck.
 Charmaine A.S bringing water to the tote.
 Katelyn G on the 4-Wheeler, and Benise T walking back to get in line for water.

 Standing in line.
Caleb D bringing water to the tote.

We also wrote Cinquains. First, we started off with writing about animals. It didn't take us long to figure out which animals we wanted to write about. I think we wrote them in less than 15 minutes. (The poems aren't very long, they're only 5 lines.) Then we wrote on about ourselves.

Here's an example of one that Kiara N wrote:

Kiara
Smart, funny
Running, jumping, exercising
Jumping in the water
Helper

There are also four new students at Igiugig School this semester! Bobby G he's in kindergarten, Katelyn G Bobby's sister, she's in the 3rd grade, Josephine D In the 9th grade, and Charmaine A.S in the 10th grade.
