The class is very motivated to write their personal stories each day. We are continuing to write stories about small moments in our lives. In our daily lessons about writing, we have been talking about how to make our writing so it is easy to read. Using examples from student writing from our class, samples were shown that illustrate good writing that is easy to read. We focused on pictures that were drawn clearly, words that had spaces between them, drawings with labels, printing that was neat, and sentences with good spelling, both standard and phonetic. After writing for about 25 minutes today, the class brought their stories to the circle to share how their stories were easy to read. We also discussed that one of the purposes of writing is so that it can be read by ourselves and by others. The class is doing a terrific job!
