Writing with strong voice - connecting to the reader and showing emotion, has been the focus of our writer's workshop recently. What better way to practice these newly perfected skills than to ask your teacher for something you really want - CANDY! Check the writing below to discover how convincing these kids can be when LICORICE is on the line.

A Friendly Visitor

Today we had a special visit from Eric, a puppy in training to work for the RCMP!

The Sentence Flu

Today we did a sentence fluency writing activity. Groups chose a topic and members took turns rolling a die and writing a sentence of as many words as the number rolled. No two sentences could begin with the same word. Check out the fantastic results below.

Happy Valentine's Day!
