I love picture day. Seeing your little firsties all dressed up gives me the grins. :) Thank you for your extra efforts this morning to be sure hair was combed, clothes were ironed, teeth were brushed, breakfast was had, and everyone was packed up and out the door on time! :)
In writing, we've been working VERY hard on adding details to our writing, including adjectives (describing words) and verbs (action words). We are nearing the time when we are going to start editing our stories for publication. You may have seen a few stories starters come home this week. We are calling those our "dud" stories. This is because these are stories your firstie was not "in love" with and felt like he/she didn't want to write anymore on them. It's so powerful to see your firsties choosing what he/she WANTS to write about instead of me telling them what they are going to write about. Here is the checklist we are going to be using as well as the rubric I will use to grade your firsties writing.
If you are fingerprinted and interested, please contact Mrs. Eshman at eshman.m@norwoodschools.org . :)
Here are the times for consistent help I'm looking to fulfill.
Tuesday- Wednesday- Thursday 10:20-11:00 or 11:40-12:15
Please remember to send in your Spirit Cup orders as soon as possible.
Have a Curious Thursday!
Mrs. Eshman
