Writer's Workshop: Fiction

Hi parents and teachers!

We have spent our year working through Deanna Jump's Writer's Workshop a Units and have finally reached our fiction unit!  Tomorrow, we will start writing our fiction stories.  Here's a look at the process we went through to get ready to write :)

Each kiddo first created a character, it could be anything they wanted.  They also give their character a name. (Thumb)

Next, we spent a day creating settings (Pointer finger). Our third day we developed a problem our character could face in that setting (cloud).

Today, we chose three events that would happen in our stories and decided how the character would solve the problem.

The boys and girls have worked so hard to prepare to write and I'm excited to see the stories they create!!  I can't wait to share more soon.

We have begun our plant unit and I also am going to do a post about Reader's Workshop and fractions, all while preparing for the Mother's Day Tea on Friday, whew!  Looking forward to seeing all of you!
