Writers' Workshop

Yesterday we started our Writers' Workshop. Each Writers' Workshop begins with a focused lesson. Students then think (come up with something to write about),talk (share what they are going to write about with a partner), write (spend 10-15 writing)and share(tell others their story). All students draw a picture to represent their story. Some students add letters or words if they can. The whole process takes about 50 minutes start to finish. It is incredible to have Kindgarten students engaged in writing for this length of time. Be sure to check out your child's writing folder next Monday at Open House.
