READER’S AND WRITER’S WORKSHOP

Each student has a Writing and Reading Notebook. Reading and Writing are essential components to student success. Students reflect on books, characters and story elements. Writing is a form of expression and students will write almost daily on a wide range of topics. Published work can be found hanging outside our room for others to view. Please encourage your child to read nightly as reading is essential. Also students can write at home and share with you or bring to school.
