Personalizing Notebook

October 2010

Dear Parents,

    Our fourth grade class will be beginning a Writer’s Workshop on the topic of memories and each child will receive his or her own Writer’s Notebook.  In class we have been discussing ways to personalize our notebooks.  We thought that pictures, drawings, stickers, tickets, or other items that would bring back a memory, might help enhance our notebooks’ appearance as well as our writing.  If possible, please have your child bring in these items so that your child may use them to decorate his or her notebook on Friday.  Please realize these items will be glued to the front of the notebook, therefore do not send things that need to be returned.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Sincerely,
Mrs. March ☺

Building a Literary Community


“Shared stories can build communities, change relationships, and get students caring about one another.”  ( S. Harwayne)








We will spend next week sharing stories.  Tonight you will find an artifact (object) that has a story, like my button jar.  It is important for you to choose an object that you know all the details to its story. Be prepared to tell the story during workshop next week.  You might want to practice your story by telling it to someone in your family. 

You will need to bring your artifact back to school on Wednesday, in the story telling bag.   If it is fragile you will need to wrap it in newspaper.  Have fun!
