Memoir Publishing Party



During Writers Workshop, we have been working on writing memoirs. A memoir is a collection of personal memories related to specific moments in the author's life. In other words, it is a window into a person's life.

As authors, we worked through the writing process to publish our own book! A focus point for this unit was to make our writing come to life using metaphors and similes. 

We celebrated our published pieces by hosting a party to share our books with other students in the school. 




We chose to make our party a "Fancy French" theme and set up a restaurant with menus for people to order food and drinks from while they listened to our memoirs.

The servers were VERY busy!












We are so proud of our accomplishments! 

If you were not able to make it to the party, feel free to take a look at the books in the Grade 5/6 classroom library!

Christmas Tree



Although it's a bit early, this week we enjoyed decorating our Christmas tree together. 




We were quite happy with how we looked in the end!




Thank you to Adam and his family in Slovakia for donating the tree!
