Dear Parents,
One of our first writing projects is to decorate our
Writer’s Notebook. The notebook is a
very important part of our writing time together. In the notebook, students will practice the
many skills learned during Writer’s Workshop.
The notebook serves as an ongoing resource as your child becomes a
writer.
During this first week of school, students are asked to
decorate the cover of their Writer’s Notebook in the form of a collage, and
return them to school no later than Thursday,
August 28. The notebook
decorations should reflect your child’s interest. The goal is to provide them daily inspiration
for their writing. Here is a list of
possible items you might include on the notebook:
·
Photographs
·
Magazine clippings
·
Stickers
·
Scrapbooking items
·
Shapes and letters
·
Printed clipart
·
Construction paper
·
Illustrations and drawings
Please do not limit the items to these above, they are just
provided to get you started. We want this to be a creative representation of
your child. Remember, these ideas should
reflect your child’s interests, hobbies, family, favorites, etc. Take the next step! Share stories and memories and record a list
of writing ideas to give your child a jump start.
After you have decorated this cover, please cover with clear contact paper or packing tape. This
will ensure the notebook to last through the entire school year.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns
about the notebook project.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Sincerely,
The Third Grade Team
