"PAW"etry!
You may notice your child bringing home poems, jokes, or playful language from school! Poetry and humor are important parts of learning because they help students understand figurative language—such as similes, metaphors, rhyme, and wordplay. Exploring poems and jokes builds vocabulary, strengthens reading comprehension, and encourages creative thinking. Most importantly, it helps students see that language can be meaningful and fun. We encourage families to enjoy poems and jokes together at home and talk about what the words really mean beyond their literal definitions. Here's one to talk about with your child this week as you discuss that February is Black History Month--join PAWZ in celebrating!

It's School Counseling Week and PAWZ has this to say about Ms. Jones and Mrs. Marcus:
You fill our hearts with kindness, acceptance, love, understanding, safety, and security. Our hearts are full of love for you.
Thank you for all you do for City Park!

Today was World Read Aloud Day! In honor of this event, Mrs. Talley visited classrooms today to introduce our students to "PAWetry"! Students heard poems from books by Brod Bagert, and they interacted with the PAWetry through performance and choral reading!

Ms. Jimenez is learning about living and non living in science! They researched snakes yesterday using books and videos. Today Mrs. Hannah brought in snake skins to compare the difference between a living and non living snake.
