Explode a Moment wih Barry Lane

Students have been challenged to find a specific moment in their life to explode with details for our cereal box project narrative.  We watched how Barry Lane describes how to explode a moment and we tried exploding our own moments within our writing.

The Dot

We read The Dot with Mrs. Krueger's class and were challenged to design our own dot showing how we will make our mark on the world this school year.  We need to decorate our dot and write a goal on the front along with our name.  The goal can be academic, behavioral, social, or personal.  We just want to see what mark you plan to make this year.  Looking forward to reading your dot!

Million Words Challenge



Yes, YOU are getting a homework assignment!  Because it will take us a great deal of time to get to know each and every one of your uniquely talented students, we would like to invite you to tell us what you think we should know about your scholar.
The reason behind the “assignment” is that it often takes teachers an entire school year to truly get to know your child.  Some students we never really know before it’s time for him or her to move on to the next grade level.  This activity gives you, the parent – the ultimate expert on your student, a chance to introduce your unique scholar to us.
We ask that you please complete this assignment by Friday, September 19th. However, we know you are very busy, so we will gladly accept it at any time.  You can either send it to school with your scholar or e-mail it to us at: carrie_kunert@beaverton.k12.or.us

Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts with us.  We look forward to an exciting and busy year with your children!
