Students showed off their "Small Moment" and "All About" books today at the grade-level writing celebration. Although the "Small Moment" unit was completed several weeks ago, the children enjoyed revisiting their stories, and some noted how their writing has improved since September! Their "All About" books demonstrated the vast array of experts currently in the first grade. This last week was a time for preparing for the writing celebration, which included correcting misspelled sight words, adding punctuation at the end of sentences, and checking for proper use of upper and lowercase letters. Before sharing with families on Friday, the three first grade classes gathered together and celebrated all they have learned. It was so much fun for them to practice their best teaching voices with one another and to see the ways in which their friends are experts!
