Happy Valentine's Day!
Thank you, Mrs. Scoggins, for planning a wonderful party. Thank you to all parents who helped or donated items. The kids seem to really enjoy passing out and reading the valentines, eating ice cream and candy, and making those cool lava lamps. It was very fun!
Camp Write Along!
Our room is ready for camp! We have trees, a camp fire and room for sleeping bags. We will have one small tent tomorrow. Children are welcome to bring their sleeping bags and a pillow. They are welcome to leave the sleeping bags here until Friday. We will be writing around the campfire and taking turns sitting in the tent to write. We will be doing a little science and math but mostly writing throughout the day. We will have black (Bartholomew Bats) bandanas to wear and the children are welcome to wear camping sort of clothing.
Feel free to send in camp letters for your child and I will deliver them after lunch each day. You can handwrite them, email them, whatever. You can send them for the entire week and I will give out some each day. Whatever works best for you.
I am very excited and know that it is going to be a great week. We will be reviewing all of the writing strategies that we have learned this year. We will be using mentor texts (books with great writing for us to model) and sharing ideas. We will be working on two rough drafts (one tomorrow and one on Wednesday) then choosing one draft to revise, edit, and publish. Don't forget to attend our Camp Celebration on Friday at 2:00 and read their writing!
Thank you again for a fun Valentine's Day and I am looking forward to a creative and exciting week of writing!
Sincerely,
Pam Bartholomew
