Outer Space Visitor

We had a visitor from outer space this week in our classroom.  "Spaceman" has flown in on his rocket ship to help the kids during writer's workshop.  As you can guess, this little man who is depicted on a traditional clothespin stick, blocks the spaces between their words.  I was amazed at how many kids were able to use spaceman successfully in their writing.  Along with spaceman, we have also focused on adding periods to the end of our sentences.  We also discussed the fact that we can add more to our writing even after we put a period.  The students have been using books to tell many parts of their stories. If you are ever around school, stop by and check out their writing folders.  They are jammed pack with amazing work!
