New Narrative Writing Unit!

Student writes "All About Church"

To introduce our Narrative Writing Unit, we started our All About Books! 

As a class, we talked about things we all knew about. As a rule of thumb, we decided that to really know about something, you must know 3 whole facts about it! The students had so much fun telling me what they knew about: princesses, Mario Kart, Lego Mania, and so much more! 

To practice, we made a class book on The Sun. We knew that: 

1. The sun is hot. 
2. The sun is in the sky. 
3. The sun is yellow. 

Look at that! We knew all about the sun! 

After writing two books as a class, the students got to go write books about anything they choose! They just had to make sure they knew 3 facts about it before they wrote it!

We also talked about how our pictures have to match our sentences! I didn't know we had so many Picassos in the class:)  

We will continue this unit for another week, so I encourage you to continue to talk with your kiddos about what they know!
