Writers' Share

First graders are wrapping up a wonderful writing unit focused on writing nonfiction. Today, students in our class got together with students in Ms. Barnett's class for a celebration of their writing. Each student spent much time writing and editing their latest nonfiction writing piece and today got the chance to buddy up with a student from another class to share it. Students took turns listening to their partner read, then asked questions and made comments about the writing. This was a fun way to wrap up our latest writing unit! Our first writing unit of the year focused on writing personal narratives, the second was this unit focused on writing nonfiction, and the third and final unit of the year is a brand new one (aligned with the new Common Core State Standards), focused on introducing the students to opinion writing! Stay tuned! Below are photos of the two classes sharing their writing.
