Writer’s Workshop Update

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!
