Reflection is so important in the world of education. Soooo, I spent the other night looking at some our writing and took some time to think about what they have produced, what I see during writer's workshop and where we need to go next. After my reflecting and realizing we weren't quite ready to move into the direction I thought. It's important that writer's workshop is centered around the students and their thinking and what they need to become better writer's. We are going to "pause" (I like that better than saying going back) and talk about what tools we need to be good writer's (pencils, paper, crayons, colored pencils). We are also going to talk about how we love drawings and to draw but when we write stories for readers, we need to include words to help describe our pictures and help to tell what's happening. We have spent a lot of time on "small moments"/"personal narratives" and are going to continue that focus but with some great mini lessons that review what our jobs is as authors. They are going to work on practicing snap words (those high frequency words we just gotta know!) and start out with like, the, said as our snap words to practice. All these mini lessons and work during writer's workshop will help us to become the authors I know we can be!
