My favorite month is here! This month we get to explore creative writing, and we complete two of our favorite projects! Your child should have shown you the Character Pumpkin Project...these have been so much fun in the past and the kids really learn a lot about writing while having fun. The actual Pumpkin Character is due at the end of the month...the kiddos will work on these at home. We will complete the writing portion here at school. As long as your child is reading his/her book that we selected for the project, please record the reading log for their reading in the packet that we keep in the baggie. If your child finishes the book, then they can go back to writing reading responses in the usual reading log.
I got this great idea from The Clutterfree Classroom.
We also will be creating a project called Haunted House for Sale! We focus on descriptive words, grabbers, and persuasive writing...should be "boo-tiful month for writing! ;)
On our classroom Wiki, I create a Question of the Week. I've asked your child to respond to that question sometime during the week. I usually pertains to the skill we are working on. Feel free to check it out! You can access the Wiki from the school's website. Just go to libraries, then Worthington, then Worthington Wikis, then classroom Wikis, then Mrs. Hornyak!
As always, thanks for being a partner in your child's education!
