We started a new writing unit this month called 'Small Moments'. The idea is to take a story idea and zoom in on it using details. For example, we thought of our school day together and zoomed in on one thing: lunch. Next, we thought about how lunch went and talked about it. Then, we drew our sketches of what happened and added sentences to match.
The kids have been working on using the words, 'first', 'next' and 'last' to help them sequence the beginning, middle and end of their small moment stories across three pages. We continue to work on adding details to our illustrations and to our writing by using our 5 senses. As you can see in the video, the students are becoming amazing writers!
