This week we had an author named Suzy Kline come to visit. She is the author of the "Horrible Harry," series. She was so engaging with the students and taught us one special lesson, "Never leave the house without a small notebook and pencil!" She said that in order to become a writer you need to practice writing. When you are out in the world you might think of a great idea that could be a SEED for a story. These ideas can help you create wonderful stories. EXPERIENCES are what bring your writing to life. Suzy Kline called a few teachers to the front of the cafe to perform what we call "Reader's Theater." The teachers were assigned parts from one of her books and they read through the lines as if they were making the text come alive. There was a "teacher and a few students in the scene." The 3rd grade students at Franklin thought it was hilarious. Students also completed their ELA MCAS sections this week! They were so positive and really focused. We wrote inspirations quotes the day before we started. In Math:
