Celebration Tomorrow

Hello,

Just a quick reminder about our celebration tomorrow morning from 8:20-9:00.  If you need to come early, please let me know.

We still need some more goodies. If you'd like to bring something to share, here's the link: Sign-Up Sheet

Please try to read as many stories as possible and leave comments for the children.  Specific feedback is great!  Here are some of the "craft moves" the children have worked on incorporating; strong leads, sensory details, internal thinking, dialogue, powerful language, and vivid descriptions. There are also extra writing projects hanging in the hallway.  The children should feel very proud of all the writing they've been doing!

About halfway through, I'll invite children to come up and read in front of the group.  Usually about half of the children want to give this a shot.  I also tell the children to wait to eat until the celebration is done, although parents are invited to have a snack during the celebration. This is hard for some of the children, but it's good practice being a pleasant host.

Hope to see you soon,
Renee
