Tuesday the 24th

On Tuesday (the 24th) I brought in a writing sample from my 4th grade class. The writer talked about her day at the park with her family. We talked about some of the things she did well in her writing, like her use of quotation marks, and how she wrote like she talked. We also discussed the things that needed some improvement, like her spelling and punctuation. I hope it was good practice for when we will be reviewing our students writing constantly. Later we discussed the "6 trait" articles that we brought to class. Then we split into groups, picked a song that portrayed on of the 6 traits, and came up with a creative way to sing and present it to the rest of the class. It was a fun day! :)
