Poetry

This past week we've been working on poetry with my fourth-grade  group.  They seemed to catch on quickly.  I received help on teaching poetry from our ESL reading specialist whom used to teach fourth grade.  This week we are going to start on Drama.  Then the next week they will take the STARR test in reading.  I'm disappointed that we might not know how our students preformed until January 2013.  Since I'm comparing TAKS data to STARR data, I'm starting to believe that my research project will be invalid.
