Author’s Workshop & Author’s Workshop Jr. Week 2

San Jose 1/24/18 & Cupertino 1/29/18

Activities for week 2 of Author’s Workshop:

Daily journaling
Acrostic poems: K/1 did a poem together with the word FISH (students copied the group answers down off the board, although a few came up with their own ideas instead). 2/3 did the FISH poem together as an example, and then made their own poems with a word of their choice. Poems were sent home.
Free writing time: those with extra time were allowed to return to their journals or begin any type of writing they chose. I brought in a few “inspiration” items which I will introduce slowly. This week I brought in “Silly Starters” story starters which is always a favorite, sentence building dominoes, and animal picture cards.
Many students are wanting to share their writing at the end of class, which is wonderful and shows their increasing confidence in their work. It also gives classmates a chance to practice the A-TEAM Five Agreements, especially attentive listening and affirmations.

My daughters attended ATEAM in South San Jose 2 separate semesters this past year. There has been a wide range of class offerings and instructors show their passion for their expertise and for student wellbeing. It's great to support these educators as individuals with the help of Ateam. The campus is nice and clean. Conveniently located as well.

A Team works hard to provide a safe and engaging environment for students to learn. We have had good experiences with them for the last 2 years that our highschoolers have been going to their classes. We hope to continue to participate in the classes and various social events provided.

I attended almost all of my classes at A TEAM from 7th grade all the way through senior year of high school, and I had a great experience.The teachers are excellent and I can tell that they really care for their students. They are talented and creative, and they make learning fun, because they are passionate about what they teach.I also really appreciate the unique classes offered at A TEAM that I would not have had the chance to take otherwise.The students and families tend to be very friendly, and I am so thankful to have met all the people I did through A TEAM. There is a really incredible feeling of community.If you are a homeschooler looking for somewhere to take classes, I highly recommend that you check out A TEAM.
