New Saturday Writing Workshop!

Learning how to write well is all about practicing the art of writing.  Just as a pianist will not achieve musical success without practicing the piano, a writer will not achieve writing success without practicing writing.  The more a student is exposed to structured writing lessons, the more the student will improve in their writing process. To help give students another opportunity to practice their writing, we have created a new writing workshop on Saturdays! 

The workshop starts this Saturday, from 12:00-1:00 PM, and will include work in the following areas:

*Planning, Drafting, Editing, and Revising for Expository Essays 
*Planning, Drafting, Editing, and Revising for Narratives
*Planning, Drafting, Editing, and Revising for Responses to Literature
*Planning, Drafting, Editing, and Revising for Summaries

This class will be geared to the student who can already form a paragraph and is ready to work on writing multi-paragraph essays, stories, and summaries.  Lessons will rotate, so students can enter the workshop at any time.

Writing Workshops are $70 per month... spaces fill quickly... only 4-6 students per class.

Come check out the fun!!!

Book Summary: Beezus and Ramona is a character driven 3rd grade chapter book that focuses on Beezus Quimby, the 9-year-old sister of 4-year-old Ramona Quimby.  The book is essentially a series of vignettes depicting the relationship between the two sisters, in which Ramona’s mischief features prominently.  The book is different from the other books in the Ramona series in that Beezus is the protagonist instead of Ramona.  Thus, the book is essentially a portrait of a young sibling relationship—especially its challenges—from the perspective of an older sibling.

One of the best tools available to help improve your child's reading comprehension is to have them participation in a reading group.

Plot Summary:
Ralph is a mouse who lives in the run-down Mountain View Inn, a battered resort hotel in the Sierra Nevada of California. Ralph longs for a life of danger and speed, wishing to get away from his relatives, who worry about the mice colony being discovered. One day a boy named Keith Gridley and his family visit the hotel on their way through California. Keith leaves a toy motorcycle on his bedside table, which interests Ralph. While Keith is away, Ralph attempts to ride it, but cannot figure out how to start it. Startled by a telephone ring, he and the motorcycle fall into a metal wastebasket.
