Writing Reviews

For the third trimester our writing is going to be centered around opinion writing. We started by writing about collections from home and around our classroom. We have now moved on to writing reviews about places we have been and things we like or dislike. For example the kids can write a movie review, restaurant review, game review, etc. The kids are doing a great job and seem to really enjoy sharing their opinions. As the kids complete their reviews we are going to publish them right here on the blog like the paper below. Please share your comments with us! Do you agree with our opinions or do you disagree?

Our School Libraries Make Us Happy!

Our amazing library media specialist here in West De Pere, Mrs. Zuraski, made a video to help us celebrate library month. This video shows how HAPPY our libraries make us here at Hemlock Creek (Westwood too!). The video even made the WBAY news as the viral video of the day! Watch to see if you can find your child dancing in the library! :)
