Writer's Workshop

We are working on editing our chosen small moments this week so they can be ready to publish by next Tuesday.  Our focus this week has been on readability and what we have learned that can help us ensure our readers can read and understand our story.  Some of these lessons have focused on using resources in our classroom to help us fine tune our best guess spelling - word wall, friends, word book (child dictionaries). We have also been working on going back and making sure we have spaces, are using lower and upper case letters where appropriate, and writing neatly.  To practice this, students have been playing, "detective" and editing my sentences that I 'forgot' to make readable and correct.  Give this sentence to your child and ask them to, "be a detective!"
