It was another gorgeous fall day here at Sunderland Elementary
School. Today is Tuesday which means I had recess
duty, so I got to go outside and enjoy this great fall New
England weather. I also got
to enjoy watching a great soccer game, kids playing on the monkey bars, and a
great game of tag. Recess duty is fun!
Inside the classroom it was another productive day. In
writer’s workshop students were introduced to the narrative writing checklist
that they will be using to evaluate their own writing pieces. Self-reflection
is a big part of the writing process. Today we used the writing checklist to
evaluate a sample piece of writing. Students not only told me what score they
felt the piece of writing deserved, they also backed up their score with
reasons why it deserved that score. We have some tough critics in our
classroom, but students were able to give evidence to back up their score. At
the end of writer’s workshop we took a few minutes to celebrate the progress
students have made with small moment stories. Students are now really zooming
in and making a movie in the reader’s mind. I am so proud of the progress I am
seeing!
Don’t forget that we have recorder tomorrow!
3F writers hard at work
