WORKSHOPANDLABORATORY
I am very excited to be working with you and your family this year in reading and writing.
We are a workshop-based and project-based classroom. This means that classes are
extremely interactive, involve many transitions, and require positive collaboration. In
writing workshop, students write about topics of interest. I ask that students compose
pieces in several different genres and write for a variety of
audiences. I hope to see a few students published this year!
