Writing

First graders write every day. We start our day with "100 Days of Writing". This is our journal for writing our special word of the day, drawing or telling about our weekend, or writing about something important happening at school or home.

 

First graders will be writing Narrative, Information, and Opinion stories this year. Writer's Workshop is a time during our day to write a little piece of a story. We have a "Red Writing Folder" to hold the pages we are working on. Some students write a story a week, some take longer. After writing a story we illustrate and color them. This week we are writing our first stories to use as our baseline writing. Boys and girls are enjoying the process of telling and sharing.
