September.
We will begin unit one of Lucy Calkins, and learn to write a personal narrative.
We will focus on becoming a writer just like those of our favorite story books!
Students have writing partners that help them to become better writers.
Students have learned how to stretch out words, use resources around the room to write, write independently for 45 minutes, use time wisely to draw and write, add to their work through details or additional pages.
October
We will continue working on writing a personal narrative. We will continue adding to our pages, more details, more words, stretching out words for sentences and labels, etc.
For this unit we use pens as our main source of writing and drawing. If you would like to donate Paper Mate Inkjoy or Paper Mate Flair pens that would be wonderful!
