Happy Thanksgiving!

As of the last two days of writing, some of my students have been choosing to draw in their writer's notebooks.  Some of my students are actually putting ideas in there via drawings, while others are actually wasting a lot of time when they could be writing!  Where do I go from here?  Reteach what a writer does?  Or reteach how to use the writer's notebook?  Ideas please!

On another note, I also taught my students how to reread and gave them 2 sentence starters for the share chair!  It was so neat to watch some of them practice what I taught in the mini lesson! I love watching my students grow as writers!
