We
are moving into a writing workshop unit focused on opinion writing after the break. Before we get to reviewing restaurants, books, and the like, we will start off by evaluating and ranking-- judging-- some of our own collections. I know
that most 6- and 7-year-olds are natural collectors! We will be learning and practicing some great ways to convince others of our opinions, and to agree with a peer or, respectfully, disagree.
To do this work, it would be great if each student could bring in a small collection (3-5 items) after break. Please don't send anything too fragile. Please don't send anything your child will miss too much as we'd like to keep it here at school for a couple of weeks. A collection of just 3 - 5 items that are all part of a category but are each a bit different would be great. A collection small enough to store in a shoe box in the classroom is best. I happen to have a collection of various pug Christmas ornaments I will bring in! Here are some ideas:

- Lego guys
- Rocks
- Stickers
- Bracelets
- Hair accessories
- Trolls
- Baseball cards
- Seashells
- Matchbox cars
- Pens
- Animal figurines
- Plastic creatures... Thank you! (If any student forgets or doesn't have a collection, they will instead be able to to write a list in class of a collection of favorite books, movies, songs, or places.
