This week in my classroom we did the Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie and my kids loved it. They loved to tell their stories and even started sharing more stories orally with each other throughout each day. So inspiring! We ended the week this week with getting our baseline writing sample. Several did very good. Big leap from where I saw my Kindergarteners last year at this point. I am really enjoying first grade and am so excited to implement this writing workshop in my classroom!
Thanks Melissa!
I have to bring a couple of my stories to share in the next class. One was very good for a first grader!
Next week I hope to start mini lessons and incorporate the writing folder. I plan to model writing my first story as well as using the writing folder materials while writing.
Isn't it so fun?! Keep with it.. small steps add up to great distances!
