Creating Characters

Our writers are getting to know realistic fiction by learning all about the Cynthia Rylant series Henry and Mudge. Students have begun developing their own main characters to write about. Next we will tackle possible settings and problems to feature in our stories.

Save the Date

Today you will find an invitation like this in your child's folder. We hope you will be able to join us on June 8th at 8:45 for your child's portfolio share. The share should take about 30 minutes only so we should finish by 9:15 on that day.
