Growing as writers!

This year we have spent a lot of time working on our writing.  Students began by telling their stories.  We then began drawing pictures to show one part of our story.  We developed an illustration rubric.  We then began writing our stories.  First we just labeled our work.  Then we began writing sentences to tell the story.  Last week we began editing our work.  Notice the "editing glasses" students wear when looking over their writing.

                                   Here are students recording their stories on a classroom galaxy.
