New Writing Unit

This next school week (January 6-10) we will begin a new writing unit. It will be focused on opinion writing.  To introduce the students to the concept of fairly judging or forming an opinion with reasons for their opinion, we will be using collections.

Each child is welcome to bring in a collection of 5 items that are all in the same category.  Some examples might be 5 rocks or stickers, 5 writing utensils, or even 5 books they enjoy. I ask that all of their items fit inside of a shoebox or Ziploc. 

In order to start our unit on time, I ask that you please send your child’s collection with them on or by Tuesday, January 7th. Please let us know if you have any questions.
