We just completed our second unit in Writer's Workshop. We learned all about small moment stories. Within those stories we learned how to write our sight words in a SNAP! I had written a few stories on large paper and left the sight words blank. The kids came up and helped me write their sight words in a SNAP! They were so surprised to see how often we put sight words in our stories.
After practicing writing our sight words we moved on to adding better details to our stories. We talked about how we can write our feelings instead of just say 'it was fun'. We brainstormed many different words that could take the place of fun in our stories.
Finally we learned how to add details to our stories by using our five senses.
After about five weeks of writing we chose our favorite piece of writing and shared our stories together for a class celebration! The kids LOVED reading each other's stories as well as reading their own stories to their friends in a small group. Writing in first grade is so wonderful to see!
