Writer's Notebooks

Hello families!

We hope you had a nice weekend with your children and got to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.
We will be introducing our writer's notebook this week. One of the first things we do is decorate the cover, both front and back. Please help your child find pictures, photos (printed on paper to make it easier to stick on the notebook), magazine art, etc. that reflect what they like to do and/or people, places, interests that are special to them. We will decorate them this week.
When you go through the pictures, magazines, etc. with your child, a suggestion is to discuss the photo, or special memory attached to it. This will help get their creative juices flowing! Inside this notebook will be the beginnings of great ideas and drafts that will develop into wonderful writing pieces!

This is also a perfect way for us to get to know each child a little more. For apprehensive writers, it helps us know what writing topics will spark interests - a great aide in the writing process! 

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening. We are looking forward to another great week!

Louise & Caroline
