Writing Update

What a difference just a few weeks makes!!!   Our second graders are learning to be purposeful writers who can problem solve and make mindful decisions.  We are continually using the writing cycle:  Think of an idea, Rehearse, Write/Draft, Finish/Draft, Reread and Revise, Get Ready To Start a New Story.

While revising our stories, the children were THRILLED to use red revision pens.  These tools help us revise our stories using a checklist which challenges us to stretch our thinking.  Today we looked at writing the heart of story through our emotions, feelings, lesson learned and our thoughts.  Keep up the great work writers!
