In Grade Four we started reading Charlie and the Chocolate factory. The students were definately excited and keep asking when will be reading again next. We also began discussing the traits of writing. The first trait we looked at was ideas. The students then partcipated in an activity called quickwrites. The objective is to write, write, write based on the topic I give them. We completed two and the goal was to try to improve something during your second one. The students came up with some awesome ideas and were extremely motivated to write. Ask them about their invisible skunk!
The Terry Fox run is approaching next week and book orders were sent in!
