Parents as Writing Partners!

Students in Mrs. Saddler's 5th grade class participated in a day of writing and sharing alongside their parents and special guests!  This event has now become a tradition for students in Mrs. Saddler's class making this an occasion they look forward to all year. Sprawled along the greenery of the Franklin Regional campus, special guests paired with their children (notebooks and pens in hand) ready to write.  Among the pieces crafted were poetry, opinion, memoir, and personal narrative. Cookies were served during a culminating read around at the close of the event. It was a day of learning, sharing and fun for all!

        

First Grade Students Publish Opinion Pieces in Google Slides!

After visiting the writing lab, 1st grade writers in Mrs. Berkoben's room took structure and ideas back to their classroom where they continued to work on individual opinion writing pieces. Later, students paired with 4th grade writing buddies in Mrs. Ryan's room to publish their work into Google Slides. It was a wonderful collaborative experience for both students and teachers.
