We began the week with a bang by celebrating the end of our October Unit of Study in Writing with Miss Kate's class. We told them all about the components of a Small Moment story and shared our writing pieces with them. Then we enjoyed a fun afternoon of crafts brought to us by our awesome parent volunteers. It was a great way to start the week off!
With the new month comes new units of study in literacy. In Reading this month we have all chosen a character in a series to study. We will be looking at character traits and developing theories about characters that help us to understand our books more deeply. In Writers Workshop we are learning about the art of revision and how we can add to our writing pieces to make them even stronger through the use of powerful words, dialogue and peer editing.
We ended the week with our first Friday Workshops in Synergy House. We gathered together to hear students recognize each other for being safe, kind and responsible and then headed off to create art, build with blocks, explore with IPads and get our bodies moving outside. A great end to a busy week!
Wow! So many great pictures! Thanks for taking the time to put them together!
