March Newsletter


Short notes 




Writers Workshop:

Creative writing is usually taught in a workshop format.  In workshops students submit original work for peer critique. Students also format a writing method through the process of writing and re-writing. Teachers teach editing, structural techniques, and idea generating.
Writer's voice is the literary term used to describe the individual writing style of an author. Voice is generally considered to be a combination of a writers writer's use of punctuation and character development  within a given body of written text.  Voice can be thought of in terms of the uniqueness of a vocal voice machine. As a trumpet has a different voice than a tuba or a violin has a different voice than a cello, so the words of one author have a different sound than the words of another. One author may have a voice that is light and fast paced while another may have a dark voice.

Fun Activity.



Math: Number Sense!
We are going to decompose a given number!
Two bunnies sat on the grass.  Three more bunnies hopped there.  How many bunnies are on the grass now?
2 + 3 = ?
Two bunnies were sitting on the grass.  Some more bunnies hopped there.  Then there were five bunnies.  How many bunnies hopped over to the first two bunnies?
2 + ? = 5
Some bunnies were sitting on the grass.  Three more bunnies hopped there.  Then there were five bunnies.  How many bunnies were on the grass before?
? + 3 = 5

I hold a B. A. in elementary education; an M.A.T. in elementary education and an M.A. in school administration. All from Western New Mexico University.
I have worked with many different civic organizations within communities in gaining support for education. I have served on many and various boards such as School to Work, Chamber of Commerce and one for children at risk. Students are my business. I firmly believe that students can learn if the environment is designed to be conducive to learning. This includes such things as improving instructional materials, professional development, and having specialized resources for students that address their exceptionalities. Please come and volunteer at RVT,
parent involvement is essential for everyone’s learning.
