Today we were very honored with a visit from travel guide expert Pauline Frommer, mother of one of our classmates. Pauline did a fantastic lesson to prepare the class for their trip to the Lower East Side in a couple of weeks at which time they will be collecting data for their own onine guide.
After talking about what made a good guide book entry (verb over nouns, how to best write a recommendation, etc), Pauline asked the students to write a brief (two sentences) description of Edinger House for an audience of prospective parents, Here are the results.
Edinger House is big, colorful, and filled with books. It has a lot of ladybus and everyone is happy.
It’s fun because there are a lot activities going on and you get to know your classmates very well. Also there are a lot of books you can read and Ms.Edinger can help you find books. (She is also very nice.)
Edinger House is very colorful and when you’re here it sort of feels like home. Also it has lots and lots of books.
The room is filled with books and smells like not so fresh air. It looks like a classroom. It has all of our projects and our laptops so I think it is a wonderful classroom.
Ms. Edinger’s room is filled with books, kids, art work, and desks. Ms. Edinger is a spectacular teacher because whenever you need help with finding a book or anything at all she is on the job!
Room 909 has books everywhere you look. There are desks put together to look like tables. In the center of the room there’s a rug with a rocking chair.
Room 909 is on the 9th floor. There are a lot of books and ladybugs for good luck.
My classroom has a lot of books in it. My teacher always finds the right book for you.
It smells like erasers and its nice and cozy. It is filled to the top with education and reading. It is My Room.
The Edinger House is always full with fun projects of work on the wall. The theme is ladybugs which symbolize hope and peace.
Room 909 is a very energetic room. It is the perfect room for your child if your child is a very jumpy child that likes action.
Edinger House is a place where there is no limit to reading. Edinger House is where you can be creative. Edinger House is where books are everywhere you look.
This room has all the school supplies you would every need. It has atlases, many educational books, a schedule, a board that has lots of our homework on it so we don’t lose track, computers, a mural, a smartboard, and lots of teaching things. There’s a lot of learning in here.
The classroom is a room with a fair amount of space with a lot of fresh air. The room is full of books and ladybugs with a spot full of pillows.
When you walk in you feel like you’re home because of all the pillows and you get your very own desk. You can smell all the pages of the books and hear laughter through the walls.
