Writer's Workshop

We love our writing time. We work so hard to publish our books. Look at our collection. 

We rotate through a special project area, three writing areas and a publishing area. We have so much fun!

The kids are publishing using a variety of materials. 

Breakfast in the Classroom January 22

We filled our classroom coin jar and the kids voted to have breakfast in the classroom. Thank you for all the breakfast donations. Yum!

Polar Bear Art Jan 21

The kids were inspired by the story Ice Bear and made some really nice polar bears with oil and chalk pastels. They turned out fabulous. 

Naturalist in Residence January 21

Leslie Bradner came and read us a book about how Douglas Fir pinecones came to have tails on them.  Cool story and the kids were fascinated. The students got to hold a pinecone the whole time. 

Food Adventures: French Fries January 13

During our last food adventure, we made French Fries in the oven. The kids loved them!

Cash Register Play January 13

The kids used pennies and dimes to buy play food and stuffed animals. They had to count out their money after the "cashier" told them how much something cost. So much fun. Thanks to our CV Mentors for helping us out. 

Read, Write, Cut, Make

During reading groups, we have started a new activity called: read, write, cut, make.  The kids and I read the sentence, the kids write it in their best writing with one finger spaces, etc. and then they cut out the words at the bottom and make the sentence and glue it down.  Sometimes these sheets might end up in the reading book bag, so please have your child read it to you.
