How do you like to spend Literacy Workshop?
Everyday we participate in Literacy Workshop during the school day. This is a time when students work on their individualized literacy needs. This may be in music, math, reading, writing or content areas. Some may attend appointments or work independently on their individualized learning goals. Below you can see students engaged in their learning. Students are planning writing and projects, reading, researching, typing, practicing math facts and even writing a letter to an author. How do you like to spend Literacy Workshop? We are very pleased to welcome Mr. Ferranti, our new co-teacher. Today he jumped right into teaching and getting to know our students. During math his students brought him for a Mill Pond tour, so he can navigate himself around our large building. We are looking forward to getting to know him, and for him to be a part of our learning community.

During Literacy Workshop, I usually read, but I am working more on my plant project these days. Sometimes, I clean the fish bowls. On Wednesdays, I miss out on Literacy Workshop time because I must attend band. Although I have never written a letter to an author, I would really like to try it sometime. It was really nice to have Mr. Bir and Mrs. Moore this week. I hope they come and visit us again soon. I really enjoy how Literacy Workshop provides me with a quiet time to complete my assignments. It allows me to focus and be creative in my writing, thoughts, and projects. I really like Literacy Workshop, because it lets me isolate myself from the distractions and work.

Literacy work shop is a quiet and relaxing time. I love it because i write, read and due other work because it is a quiet time. I like it because i get to catch up on other work. But I have appointments on other days too. Last week it was fun to do social studies at literacy work shop with Mr.Bir

I usually work on unfinished work at literacy workshop. Recently I have been working on my science project which is a power point. When I have no unfinished work I read. I am reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K Rowling. I have been reading Harry Potter at literacy workshop for a while now. I was excited to see who our new teacher would be. I am happy it's Mr. Ferranti. I still miss Ms. Frenkel, but I also like Mr. Ferranti.

My favorite thing to do in literacy workshop is to read. Sometimes I work on unfinished things though. Also, I think Mr.Ferranti is a great addition to the class. It will be fun having him as a Co-teacher this year.

I am happy that Mr. Ferranti became our new co-teacher. I still miss Mrs. Frenkel. I've only seen her once since she left. (I saw her pick up her son after school) I would like to get to know Mr. Ferranti more at school.

During literacy workshop I usually like to read but lately I have been working on my science project. I work on my project more often because it's a PowerPoint and I like using PowerPoint.

In Literacy Workshop, you are supposed to do either the Island Map, the Photosynthesis Comic(I think everyone finished these two) and the Plant Project currently. Once you are done with all three of these, you get to independently read. I, personally like the Plant Project the best. Everybody gets to choose how to show their knowledge and I enjoy making(I am not done with it) my Jeopardy powerpoint.

Literacy workshop Block A is my favorite out of the 2 literacy workshops. You get to work on projects and read. 2 of my favorite things! Part of literacy workshop Block B is writing, and I'm not a big fan of writing.

I never have chorus, band, orchestra, or lessons so I am always there during literacy workshop. I like literacy workshop because i get to read and finish unfinished work. Mr.Ferranti seems like a nice person and I look forward to getting to know him better.

During literacy workshop, I usually have band, chorus or reading. But when I do get literacy workshop in the classroom, I am most likely to work on projects. I enjoyed meeting Mr. Ferranti.

During literacy work shop, I like to spend my time reading and working on projects. I have established a routine of how I do things. I figure out what I am doing, set up, and plunge into the activity! Lately, I have been working on my plant project. But today, I emailed Laurel Snyder and was excited to receive an email back!

Mr.Ferranti is very nice and funny. It is my first time having a co teacher who is a boy. In literacy workshop I usually decide to read, but if I have unfinished work I get right to it. I have finished a ton aof books in literacy workshop. I finished my plant project today, too. I am looking forward to a great year with Mr.Ferranti.

I like the wiggle seats better than the balls. I am more comfortable when I am still in my seat.
