activity. The children have been brainstorming and discussinghaving families come into the classroom. We havedecided that we would like to have a family event thatincorporates the children’s writing skills so they can showoff their writing. Their writing samples will be postedaround the classroom for you to observe and then wewill take about twenty minutes for you and your child tocomplete a writing activity. The children are lookingforward to having their families and come work togetherwith them!
