The next set of pictures is from a special writing lesson we did this morning. I invited Camille Bryant from the Literacy Department to come and talk to the kids about organizing their ideas in order to write a story - the very beginning stage of writing. We've talked in class about how stories have a beginning, a middle and an end. Today the kids made up a story and then wrote down (in pictures) the beginning, middle and end to their story. Tomorrow we will finish up the lesson by writing our stories and sharing them with each other. The kids were excellent listeners for our guest!
Enjoy the pictures! I hope this gives you a little glimpse into our day! See you tomorrow at the Turkey Parade! If you want to take your child home after the parade just let me know by writing it in their red folders. I plan on packing the kids up before the parade to help with dismissal. We plan to be done by 2:30 in order to come back to the room and get our things together to take home. When it's over I can send your child to the office to meet you, or have them walk out in the carpool line. If you think your child will need help gathering up all of their things you can come down and help them. Please help us out by not staying in the hallways for too long during dismissal so that we can get all the kids out effectively. Our little friends can get nervous in big crowds and easily get into the wrong line to go home. Again, there will be a lot of people attending so you'll definitely want to be here by 2 to grab a spot against the wall in the hallways. The other grade levels will be sitting against the walls in the cafeteria cheering us on! I can't wait for you to see all of the floats! I have some very creative parents!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! The holidays are so much fun with little ones!
