Connections

We continue to write small moments (stories about ourselves) during writer's workshop every afternoon.  Today we focused on how to develop an idea to write. Students explored the idea and learned how you can take something that happened to you that you may think isn't a big deal and turn it into a story.  Students spent time sharing ideas with their peers about the current story they are writing.  Taking this time to share with one another allowed many students to connect their peers' moment to one of their own.  Students continue to explore with "best guess spelling" and are working hard to add words to their writing.  INQUIRE with your child what story they wrote today!
