Writing

Besides choice time, writing is the kids favourite time of the day.  They have been busy writing books for several months now.  They are able to write on any topic, picking the size of paper, and amount of pages of each book.  Some children chose to write about a variety of topics while others write about the same thing most times.

Students have a choice to either bring their books home or hanging them in the hallway.  They are very proud of their work.  I took these pictures this afternoon during writing time.  You can see how hard they are all working.  The students often ask to go and show Mrs. Neufeld and Mrs. Gross their writing.

Writing generally starts with a short lesson and then students are given time to write.  They always have the option of starting something new or continuing to work on something.  They each have a workbin to store their work in.  They write for up to 45 minutes and then we share.  Students have the option of sharing unless I have asked them to share.
