Hello Everyone!

October 20, 2008

Here’s the scoop:

·         Frances will be in Washington DC and we will miss her!

·         Meet Oct. 27th in Leah Finch’s classroom and then meet in the library to debrief and get ready for Nov. 3rd.

·         Children’s Literature Week Nov. 17-25. Poetry Party Performance?

·         Frances says: Thank you for midterm reflections, good journaling on Tibbetts literature circles and being good scribes.

·         Post Children’s Literature Resources monthly to your webpage.  Two resources are the NY Times in the children’s section also Book Links, and Voya.com.  You can use these as future resources. 

·         Author/Illustrator Focus is due Nov. 10th; post to your webpage.

·         Work on poetry because that’s the easiest to do with students.  They are free to write and it doesn’t have to be long.  Children are natural poets.

·         Kelly was the storyteller today; she went to the Pumpkin Patch and ran into Charlie Brown; had to sit on Linus’ dirty blanket.  The Great Pumpkin did not appear! 

·         Good class and see you next week!
