Students will focus on characterization and sequencing while reviewing the 5 W’s + an H (who, what, when, where, why, how) of comprehension.   They will also learn to listen, take turns, and respect classmates who are speaking and sharing ideas!  Students will respond to a writing prompt to apply new vocabulary and information. (Students who do not yet read and write words will be given prewriting strategies to complete the tasks.)  By sharing their writing, students are also building speaking skills and gaining confidence to share their thoughts and ideas with a group!

I have enjoyed 24 wonderful years in the public school system and have the following experience:

*Currently teaching middle school ELA
Elementary Education--certified (with preschool, elementary, and middle school teaching experience)
Preschool Special Education--certified
Gifted and Talented Endorsement
Reading Endorsement
Education Administration

Your child will need paper, pencil, and crayons/colored pencils for this camp.

The following books, all written by Bernard Waber, will be read aloud to your child over the duration of the camp.  Because the stories are read aloud, there is no need to purchase copies of the book.  I will read them to your child.

Book Sequence:
Day 1:  The House on East 88th Street
Day 2:  Lyle, Lyle the Crocodile
Day 3:  Lyle at the Office
Day 4:  Lyle and the Birthday Party
Day 5: Lovable Lyle
