This is a bilingual Spanish-English classroom. We are building our English vocabulary rapidly! First, the class read and discussed a variety of books about apples. Then we brainstormed adjectives which would describe apples. We went to other classroom pages on the project to see if students had words we had forgotten, and we found a few. We added those to the list, and then the members of the class who wanted to work on a class poem worked together with Ms Turetzky. Some children wanted to write their own poems and Mrs. Nixon was available to help them. *The Arizona State Standards addressed in the lesson were:* Reading: Foundations #1: Use phonetic skills to decode words. Foundations #3: Use reading comprehension strategies... b) restatinginformation from a reading selection. Writing: Foundations #1: Use the writing process...to complete effectively a variety of writing tasks. Foundations #2: Use correct (conventions) to complete effectively a variety of writing tasks.

State mandated 6-point Six Traits of Writing rubrics for voice and conventions were used for final assessment.
