Small Moments
Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
I am SO PROUD of my firsties! We worked very hard to work through the writing cycle during these first few weeks of school. We even got a little surprise...COOKIES! We discussed how some writing celebrations will be just us, and others we will get to invite special people in our lives. I can't wait to get to share their hard work with you soon!
Taking a Piece Through the Writing Cycle
We chose our FAVORITE piece to take through the writing cycle! We had already thought of an idea, planned and wrote our first draft. We spent time with our new partners to "fix up" our pieces by revising and editing! We decided writers like to have company in order to bounce ideas off of their peers. We are no different! We have really enjoyed listening to each others stories and asking questions. This week we are finishing up our pieces and publishing. We can't wait to celebrate our hard work!
Writing Small Moment Stories with Independence
We started our year jumping right into writing narratives! Your first graders have blown me away with their eagerness to get started. We have discussed how writers get their ideas, how they plan, write, and then revise! We are in the beginning stages of fixing up our pieces and we will be celebrating our hard work very soon!
