Today was our first delayed start morning. This is such a valuable time for the staff. This morning we worked on our 2014 School Improvement Plan. There are four main goal areas: Literacy, Math, Cultures of Thinking and Whole Child. I am part of a team that is working on strategies, activities and opportunities to support continue growth in our BLE Cultures of Thinking. We want all learners to engage in learning environments that promote active learning centered on their interests and strengths, with intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and collaboration.
Today is going to be a poster day. Here are a few posters to share what we've been learning.

In writing we have been working on adding descriptive words to our small moment stories. We use mentor texts to admire words from published pieces. We experiment in our own writing with what we've learned from the published pieces. | In writing we learned that there are words or phrases that we can use to help us move a story along. This helps us create a clear sequence of events. Above are words that we can use in our writing. | Here is a writing workshop poster that lists some of the strategies for writing effective personal narratives. The next time your are in our classroom check out our posters to see what we are learning. |
