Appendix A
Letter for Homework
Dear Parents,
We are studying poetry in our classroom. Your child will be required to complete two Acrostic poems. Please see example below. You will find this type of poetry to be fun. They should draw an outline of the word they are using and the list of endings that is provided. We will also be celebrating poetry for National Poetry Month in April. If you would like to come in and read some poetry let me know. We are especially seeking out children's poems.
Thank you
Ms. Johnson

Letter for Field Trip to Carnegie Museum of Art
Dear Parents,
To be able to enrich your child's awareness in the use of Visual Art related to reading, a field trip has been planned to give him\her first hand knowledge of visual art and the story it can tell. This experience will be integrated into the classroom instruction related to Poetry. We will be taking an educational trip to the Carnegie Museum of Art. This trip will be of no cost to you. An artist in residence will be attending. An explanation of the art work will be given. If you wish your child to attend, please sign below.
My son\daughter ————————- has my permission to attend the field trip to the Carnegie Museum of Art.

Sincerely,
Ms. Johnson
