What Are We Doing in Class?

We have been learning a lot about writing throughout the school year. Our students had the luck of experiencing new art skills with their art teacher the other day. They created art to hang on the walls of our classroom community by re-using things that some would consider trash. Because we are focusing on being sustainable, our students were excited that they could create such beautiful things from cardboard boxes and other things that would have otherwise been thrown away. We decided that it would be a good idea to write letters to the art teacher to let her know how appreciative we are. This was a good way to help the students learn to write letters. This is a genre of writing that they're not experienced with. Here are a few examples, you might want to try having your child write a letter at home.
