READERS/WRITERS WORKSHOP – In writers workshop we continue to write different kinds of stories. We are working on a Bravery story and will begin an embarrassed story later this week. Before the end of the month each student will have the opportunity to choose one story they wrote to edit and publish for our next Published Party.
In Readers Workshop we put up our Mental Movies. I am working with each one of the students to listen to them read and talk about ways in which they can improve their reading. I plan to re-assess all students prior to conferences. We will also demonstrate that we can pause when reading to recap main characters and events. We will also look to see how new parts of a book fit with old ones.

ROCK STAR Sam!
Our second ROCK STAR in Angelville this week was Sam. Last week we wrote stories in writers workshop about our Hello, Good-bye Windows in our home. Sam's window in his home is in his bedroom. This week the students described the type of ROCK STAR that Sam is. Some of the words that were used to describe Sam were, "Easy to be friends with, nice to all people, plays with everyone, funny and never argues when playing soccer." We are so thankful to have Sam in Angelville. Thanks Sam for being our ROCK STAR this week!
Senses of the SEASON
Last week Miz Schmutz taught an art class with acrylic pastels. We wanted to capture not only the colors of the season, but the objects as well. WOW! These students are amazing artists. Once our pictures were complete we took it one step further and wrote poems using all of our senses. What do we see, smell, taste, touch, and hear in Autum. So FUN!!!!

Angelville's First Published Party!
This morning we celebrated our very first Published Writing Party! We have had a month of writers workshop and 3/4 West completed their first published piece. The pieces are all about their Hello, Goodbye Windows in their homes. We all have that one window that gets more attention than the others. We might check to see that the mail man came, or watch our students playing out front, or feel the excitement as we wait for the UPS driver to deliver a special package. What a great way to highlight each student and the great jobs they have done, than with Top Pot donuts and 15 seconds of fame. Thank you writers for sharing today!!! We even had the Principal for a day come in and listen to our stories, very exciting:)
I'm a ROCK STAR!
We welcomed our first ROCK STAR into 3/4 West this week, Catherine. We also had the opportunity to meet Fuzzy, Catherine's Guinea pig! Thank you for being you Catherine, and we are all so glad that you are one of our new friends here in Angelville and St. Al's!!
Fruits from the Garden
It is always fun when the garden fruits and veggies transform into a different kind of food. This week we enjoyed zucchini bread. The zucchini was freshly picked from the school garden. Thank you Maya for taking time to bake and share your gift with others here at school. Such a treat!! Yummo!!!
