IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Has anyone wondered about those papers that are coming home that say “Daily News” at the top of them?  Over the past two weeks our class has been doing an interactive writing activity at the end of each school day.  We start with our names, the title, and then the date.  (As a class each morning we are also working on what those date numbers actually stand for.  “What does that 9 mean at the beginning of the date?”)  Then I ask the question, “What was something special we did today?!”  The kids are always really excited about this and almost every hand shoots up to share an experience.  We talk about the day’s events and then decide on one item to write about.  Because this is at the end of the day, the Daily News goes in their mailbox to bring home the next day.  So if you are curious check out your child’s Daily News and have a conversation about their days.  I am sure it will bring out even more! 

**As an edit to yesterday’s post, I forgot one date.  October 6th at 6:00pm- We will have our second parent meeting at the school.  All are welcome!  Come and find out how you can get involved in the school.  The last event was so successful I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.
