A Huge Writing Project ... Complete!!

For the past three weeks we have been working on writing a story. First, we spent time listening to some examples of fairy tales and adventures. Then we used a graphic organizer to develop an idea for a story. We talked about how we have to have a bold beginning, mighty middle, and excellent ending. Next, we spent a few days on each section. We would write our sloppy copies in our journals, and then I would sit down and have a writing conference with each student. We worked together to fix some spelling and punctuation mistakes. Finally, the students wrote their final copies on their "fancy paper." The kids spent a lot of time and effort on these stories. I cannot wait to get them all posted for everyone to read. They are currently hanging in our hallway so if you'll be in the building, please come by and take a look. These are a few that I was able to get recorded today. Stay tuned for the rest next week!!

PS - I've said it before, but I'll say it again... your children are amazing. A true blessing each and every day.
