Today, students completed a quick write and shared their writings. A quick write is an activity were students are shown a picture and are required to write for a full 5 minutes. The picture in the center was the topic for their writing. The students came up with a plot all on their own and shared their AMAZING stories. Quick writes will be completed daily! Our students really enjoyed listening to each others stories.
Today students took the time to write in their Parent Pen Pal Journal. Parent Pen Pal will be completed every Friday. Parent Pen Pal is an opportunity for students to write in their journal to their parents about their week in school. This is a great opportunity for students to practice writing and it increases communication between parent and child. If you would like to have the Parent/Student Journal in your class or learn more about it click here.
Welcome to an EXCITING year of being Fifth and Fierce. Our first week has been full of learning about each other and the rules and procedures of the classroom. This week we are learning the importance of respecting each other. I teach the students that we are a family! This is a picture of our classroom before the students arrived to school. We have a relaxing atmosphere. We keep our lights low and we use the lamps around the classroom.
