WRITER'S WORKSHOP
In first grade, the focus is fostering a love of writing. Students learn about writing "small moments" in their lives (personal narratives). They also experiment with using different words, work on spelling, and work on handwriting. We also study great authors and see what they do to create strong pieces of writing, and then use their techniques in our own writing. Each day we start our Writing Workshop time with a mini-lesson that will focus in on a strategy or idea, and then kids are then given time to write!
