Mr. Kelley's class has been working on creating Wordless Books, that is, books without words.

"How can you read a book without words?" you ask.

Well, everyone has an amazing amount of knowledge that is already in their heads and when you see the pictures, your brain uses that knowledge, or schema, to fill in the details and make connections. You can tell exactly what is happening in the story based on the events in the pictures.

Students loved this project and many students wrote more than one story!

Walk to School Day!









Well, walk to school day was a huge success! I can't believe how many students, parents, and teachers turned out. It was a beautiful morning, a little cold, but sunny. Mrs. Haskins led the way and the helpful policemen made sure we were safe walking to school. Everyone had a great time!
