After "publishing" our favorite writing piece for October, the children shared their stories with each other and their second grade buddies. We decided to bring our books to the school library for other children to read and for Sam, the library mouse. For the past week, we have been working on planning our stories by telling them out loud, then touching each blank page in a booklet and saying what we plan to write and draw on the page. The children worked today on adding details to their pictures and words. We say, "If you're done, you've just begun!" to help us remember to keep adding to our stories. My next few teaching points will include lessons on stretching out words by saying them slowing and writing the sounds we hear, and bringing our stories to life by adding dialog and speech bubbles. We will continue to write true stories about events in our life for the next few weeks. Ask your child what story he or she is writing about, and help them brainstorm ideas for future stories by talking about things they have done recently.
