IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Last week we started story workshop particularly creating stories to support our new students coming into our school community. This week our children are still working on their stories but they are writing letters to go along with their artwork story. There have only been three students who have started writing their letters (the rest our really engaged in creating their illustration of their story), and I have really been impressed with the length, vocabulary, and detail that has been out into them. Below is Jonah’s letter he wrote to a new friend.

This week and until school is out we are going to explore mysteries and how asking and answering questions throughout reading mysteries can create opportunities for better understanding and more critical thinking. Today we kicked off our mystery fun with reading “Jumanji”. The children were so engaged and so interested in predicting throughout the book that it created such a fun and exciting time to read aloud!
