There’s So Much to Share!
We have made huge strides in the area of writing through using the techniques we are learning with Mrs. Kurzman. We are producing so much that I have been unable to keep up with it and share with you on the blog. However, I would like to point out to you a few places you should check out.
- The Ox Cart Man work is displayed just outside Mrs. Belknap’s room. We are all very proud of this work.
- Check our Halloween poems outside our classroom. Our first poetry of the year. Good stuff!
- In the classroom there are many displays showing off our research of earlier settlers, and a fantastic example of vocabulary research where the children used dictionaries, thesauruses, each other, etc. to delve into a word each person chose. (Mrs. Kurzman was here yesterday and was thrilled with what she saw.)
- Also in the classroom, is a display of drawings and reflective paragraphs about each person’s cornhusk doll. (Please check out some of these reflections on our writing page.)
- Lastly, each student wrote a report about himself or herself identifying a symbol that best represents the individual. There are framed pictures that accompany each piece of writing. These pieces will take your breath away. Currently, they are displayed on a table in the classroom.
