Writing Workshop - We're writing like crazy, not only birthday papers for our classmates and the occasional friendly letter, but we are in the middle of writing discovery drafts of the small moment chosen for publication. Some students were working at home last week "polishing" their lead for that small moment. Some of the strategies we've experimented with include:
- small action
- dialogue
- setting
Our first Publishing Party will take place just before the winter break, on Friday, December 21st at 10:00am. (Keppel has a cougar pride assembly first thing in the morning, which is why we've had to bump our celebration until after morning recess.) All family members are welcome to attend. We'll have light refreshments (lemonade & cookies) and a chance to read personal narratives. Watch for an invitation next week!
Parent Email Addresses - Our room parents have asked that all parents send their preferred email address to any of our room parents: Just click on one of the hyperlinks to send yours --- I'm not at liberty to give parent email addresses to other parents without permission.
