We're Thinking About You, Ms. Croonen!

Each week, we have Writer's Workshop time.  The students are given a topic to draw and write about.  They draw for 10 minutes, they colour for 10 minutes and then they write for 10 minutes.  Writing may look like adult handwriting (squiggles or loops) or it may be a string of letters they know.  Sometimes students write their name or other words found around the room.
This week, we wrote about Ms. Croonen. A month has passed since she moved to Valley View Elementary and not a day goes by when her name isn't mentioned.  We decided to write about her, in hopes that she would see some of our pictures here!

James wrote all the Jolly Phonics letters  he has learned and a picture of Ms. Croonen with a sunflower.

James found lots of words to copy from around the room and remembered most of the alphabet too.

Sadie copied Ms. Croonen's name and spent time colouring the background of her picture.

Keira did adult handwriting and drew a picture of Ms. Croonen.

Lucian drew a giant teddy bear which we had just learned, and  wrote his name and Ms. Croonen's name.
