The latest, greatest fad in literacy class is to write books. This fad has led to great things: gaining a passion for writing (I hear groans when it's time to put our Writers' Workshop folders away,) learning how to give positive feedback along with constructive criticism, having a desire to edit our work and forming a Book Club!
The Book Club has been meeting after school on Tuesdays. The student leaders are learning leadership skills such as setting up an agenda and sticking to it, giving encouragement to club members and setting a good example. Oh, and bringing a snack!
BOOK CLUB
Hurry! Sign up today!
Two boys' excitement is contagious!
This week's agenda
The student leaders with one of their "books"
Our theme this week was "I am thankful for...."
Ready, set, write!
An important part of club is sharing our work.
THANKSGIVING
On Wednesday of Thanksgiving Week the Seabury lower school community gathers for our traditional Thanksgiving feast of classroom-made snacks.
This year the Navigators made fancy acorns.
We had a special guest, Mrs. Towne's mother, who showed us her Hardanger needlework.
We gathered together and each shared what we are thankful for.
Our eclectic feast served by our wonderful staff
We have much to be thankful for!
