Thank you for attending the Meet & Greet!

October 07, 2011

Thank you everyone for attending the Meet & Greet Thursday evening! Ithink the kids enjoyed showing you what their day looks like and all the work we have done. And I would like to extend a big thank you and congratulations to our Room Parents, Jessica Bilandzija, Samantha Peale, and Lisa Lansing for planning and organizing a successful event!

I noticed that our Writers Workshop area seemed to be a main focus the tour. We are now fully immersed in our Personal Narratives. Student chose "seed ideas" this week and we are now developing our small moments into chronological stories, stretching out the action by including small details, dialogue, and the character's thoughts. Your children's lives are so full of rich moments - I can't wait to hear the full versions of their stories! We will celebrate our first publish work on Thursday, October 20th. For this first celebration, it will be just the Room 12 students and I. We will extend invitations to families for our second published personal narrative.

Thank you again for attending, your donations to the Annual Campaign, and for supporting the OCS community! It would not be such an amazing place without you!
