Writing Contest

Notice: The TD Canadian Children's Book Week Writing Contest (http://www.bookweek.ca/book-week/2013) - There were 10 entries from our class. I mailed everyone's entries today before the Feb. 1 deadline. We have to wait until May to find out who the grade 4 winners are, and to read the winning stories and poems.

Good luck to everyone who entered!!

 

Reminders: Tomorrow is Robert Munsch day. Come to school dressed up as your favourite Munsch character. At 11:00 we will have a Robert Munsch assembly. 

 

Please return signed skating permission forms. We are still in need of some parents volunteers to walk with us and to tie up skates.

I have 2 huge compliments for every single member of our class.

The first is the students have been extremely excited and motivated to write detailed, interesting, well-developed, and imaginative stories. Every single student has worked diligently, learned more about the writing process, and has improved his/her creative writing in the last 6 weeks.
The quality of the modern fairy tales that the students wrote are FANTASTIC and as the students finish their final copy, I'm putting them up on display for everyone in the class to read.

The second compliment is every single student's drawing and artistic ability has improved this year. They are learning to carefully observe and transform what they see into realistic looking images on paper. I have been very impressed by the attention to detail and quality of the students' drawings lately. I've posted some examples of their fairy tale main character drawings.

Awesome job everyone :-)
