Summary

Students from Green Grove Elementary read personal narratives focused on descriptive details and dialogue; teachers described learning objectives. Board members and audience praised the work.

Third- and fifth-grade students from Green Grove Elementary School presented personal narratives during the board's showcase segment, reading selected paragraphs and describing classroom objectives.

Principal Kelly Ali introduced students from Miss Passanello’s third-grade class and Miss Tatata’s fifth-grade class. Miss Passanello said the third graders had completed personal narratives as their first writing piece of the year and had focused on details, dialogue and paragraph structure. Several students read aloud short excerpts describing roller-coaster experiences, trips to Disneyland, medical episodes and family moments; remarks were met with board appreciation.

The board acknowledged the students’ work and noted the education committee’s focus on curriculum and student supports later in the meeting. The showcase was followed by announcements about district activities including a food drive through Nov. 14 and upcoming school performances.
