Everyone likes to write about themselves, especially kids! So this week we are going to read some great books that will help guide us in writing about ourselves! Personal narratives are an important part of learning how to be a writer. Many stories come from experiences authors have had in their own lives! We are going to learn to capture small moments and turn those into stories. The picture books: Do Like Kayla, I Love My Hair, Alexander and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, ___ and ____ show a small moment captured and how they told their story. We will review again, the different parts of a story (beginning, middle and end) encouraging them to write stories with more than one page. These are standards we will revisit throughout the year. The goal is to set them up with a foundation to build on as the writing workshop progresses. We will add many more tools to our tool box! When spending time with your children over the next few weeks, ask what they did that day? Maybe something small will catch their memory and turn into a story i.e., dropped my sandwich on the floor, was the secret student, rode my bike home from school etc!! Kids have a lot to share, so simply asking or listening will help them tell their stories!
