Publishing Our Small Moments

We have come to the end of our first writing unit this year. Small Moments (narrative writing) invited children to tell stories of their own lives with focus and detail. The children learned how to capture their ideas by planning for their writing, then learned how to "zoom in" and find focus to their words. The first graders learned different types of authors craft to help bring their stories to life and how to revise and edit their work with a partner and on their own. The children have each chosen a story to "publish" by revising and editing one more time, adding color to their drawings, and creating a cover. We will be sharing our writing after the Thanksgiving lunch on Wednesday, November 20th. Please feel free to stay and enjoy hearing the wonderful stories we have to tell.
