READER’S AND WRITER’S WORKSHOPEach student has a Writing and Reading
Notebook. Reading and Writing are essential components to student success. Students reflect on books, characters and story elements. Writing is a form of expression and students will write almost daily on a wide range of topics. Published work can be found hanging outside our room for others to view. Please encourage your child to read nightly as reading is essential. Also students can write at home and share with you or bring to school. Students will keep a Reading Log of the books that are read and of course the AR keeps track of success in testing on books read.
