Kindergarten and first grade have enjoyed poems by Jack Prelutsky, Shel Silverstein, Bobbi Katz, Robert Louis Stevenson and more. 2nd graders worked with ReadWriteThink's <a href="http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/Word_Mover/">WordMover</a> interactive. WordMover is creating poetry with found words from either a word bank or famous works. Here are a few samples of our students' creations:<br />

Students read for six hours and earn a FREE ticket to Six Flags. This year 55 Woodland Heights students participated. The best part - teachers also earn a ticket as long as they have at least one student complete the program! 22 teachers received tickets as well. My family made our trek to Six Flags Over Georgia on a hot day in July. Thank you Six Flags for providing this opportunity for students and teachers and for promoting reading!<br />

4th and 5th grade are busy with their final research projects of the year. 4th grade has researched important events and figures of the Revolutionary War and will create a Wanted Poster as a final digital product. 5th graders are learning about famous people that played a part in World War II. They will create a PowerPoint presentation to share their knowledge, complete with references featuring full citations. Way to learn those information literacy skills!</div>

First they created synonym chains out of index cards - some were quite long with up to 25 synonym chains! Next students used artist and author Ingrid Sundberg's <a href="http://ingridsundberg.com/2014/02/04/the-color-thesaurus/" target="_blank">Color Thesaurus</a>. The Color Thesaurus is a visual representation of the different names and shades of colors. Students found new words for their favorite colors and then added them to a group poster. Why go with just blue when you have all of these options:<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
