Sharing in Writer's Workshop

Last week we started our first grade writer's workshop! Each day we have a writing mini lesson, lots of writing time while teachers conference with writers, and time to share our work. Today was the first day that we learned about how we share our work. We practiced reading our writing with a loud voice and keeping our papers in our laps so that we can make eye contact.

We are finishing up our first writing project, which some of your saw at open house. Last week we read a story called Jasper's Beanstalk. In the story Jasper the cat climbs a beanstalk, but we never find out what happens next. Our class wrote Jasper's Beanstalk Part 2! We worked on using our imaginations, writing with sequence words, and adding details.
