This week in first grade, the first grade students have been working hard on their small moments story in Writer’s Workshop. They have learned how to write a story by first choosing a topic, planning out their stories and then writing down their thoughts. These first stories are real stories, taken from their personal experiences. They are inspired by topics such as family trips, a favorite birthday present or even a new family pet. The first grade author’s have learned to incorporate important details into their stories including, where the story takes place, who are the people in the story, what was happening in the story, and when does the story take place. Our author’s are thrilled to share their masterpieces with their parents at our first author’s celebration.
