What a difference just a few weeks make!!! 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 stretch our thinking. Today we looked at writing the heart of story through our emotions, feelings and thoughts. Keep up the great work writers!
