Grammar Talks with Mrs. Damm
Our students have definitely gained benefits from number talks. What would this concept look like if we applied it to grammar instruction? 4th graders are having a blast with "Grammar Talks" as they celebrate wonderful examples of mentor sentences from their favorite read-aloud texts. Watch this video clip of Mrs. Damm as she invites students to notice the grammar and craft of the carefully selected mentor sentence. Students go through a cycle of noticing, imitating, and eventually editing within the safe and risk-free learning environment.

Kids of all grades and ages can benefit from this engaging way to embed grammar instruction in an authentic way. Please contact Michelle Kim for a series of demos in your classroom.
More information will be provided soon!
First Annual Hosp Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast
We're look forwarding to celebrating our wonderful volunteers on Friday, May 15th.
Please don't forget to stop by the library to have Kate Kassen snap a fun, playful photo of you and your students with a 'thank you' banner. We would love to incorporate these photos into a slideshow which will run during the breakfast.
Remember that special assignment? We would like to ask that each grade level and the CAMP team come up with a big, bold banner to be used as decor for the breakfast thanking our volunteers!
