Many of my groups have been engaging in writing pieces based on the theme "We Are Thankful". They were asked to brainstorm all of the things in their life that they are thankful for, put it into a piece of writing, edit it and then write out a final draft. It was very enjoyable to read and get to know the students a little better by seeing what types of things that they are thankful for in their lives. Mrs. Lamon's group has finished their writing pieces and they are proudly displayed in the hallway for parents to view at conference time. I have more groups that are still in the process of finishing up this task so stay tuned!
One more week until Thanksgiving Vacation!
