Mrs. Garlow's Classroom Blog

Thank You!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was able to make it to our Publishing Party this morning and to all those who supported their children in spirit.  The grade 3s were incredibly excited to share this moment with you.  It was a big moment that called for celebration!

The stories shared today went through the process of generating ideas, producing drafts, deep reflection about a particular moment in time to develop the heart of the story.  Students learned how to analyze characters from our novel study Stone Fox and dissected the craft moves of our mentor authors so they could apply these skills to their own narratives.  The grade 3s were given feedback and also conferred with their classmates.  Finally, they edited their stories and published them.

These narratives are true stories that were deeply impactful moments for your children.
Some were heartbreaking, some joyous, while others were frightening or traumatizing.  All centred on their voice and personal lived experiences.  

Thank you once again for all your continued support!
