Today we begin a new unit of Writer's Workshop. Our focus is small moment writing. We will be zooming in and writing about one event rather than a long period of time. A nice example is a trip to Disney World. There are so many things to see and do, but we will be writing about just one special ride, show, or attraction. The lists that were compiled last week will now serve as a bank of ideas. Our last unit drafts will be arriving home today.
This week we are exploring the concept of more and less with several activities, including coins. Our letters this week are Dd and the -at family of rhymes. The fall mural is up and as Halloween approaches we will be adding to a bulletin board of Boooo. This Friday we will be visiting the Pumpkin Patch and returning to school for a pep rally.
Thank you to all who responded to the online survey, your input is much appreciated. Be sure to congratulate your child on being recognized at Town Meeting today. Our class took 2nd place for decorating our Cash For Trash container.
