February 7-11 is our Parent Engagement Week in the ES. It's always a special time, one which I look forward to, as it means that you, parents, are welcome to come in and be a part of the learning.
This year, our focus in Grade 3 will be on writing. Each teacher will engage their classroom parents and students a little differently, as it depends on his/her class' needs.
In 3LN, we will be focusing our attention on the craft of elaboration.
So often, I hear students say, "I'm done!" and when I read over their work, I'm somewhat disappointed because they've hardly written anything at all and I know they are capable of so much more. Perhaps you've experienced that at home, as well, when you've helped your child with a writing assignment, travel journal entry, or a creative story of their own.
In our time together, which will be Thursday, February 11, from 8:15-9:15, I hope to give you and your child the tools needed to extend those great ideas, add more details, create more vivid images, and push thinking to a deeper level.
If you're able to make it, I'm looking forward to seeing you then!
