The energy in our classroom during Language is amazing - the
creativity is phenomenal and we're incredibly excited to write our mysteries!
This week, we finished planning our stories. We've mapped them into 'chapters'
and today we began to write. We'll continue writing throughout this week. Our
goal is to finish our first draft before the long weekend!
During our Reader's Workshop, we'll continue to dive deeper into the
elements of fiction. Our class has been especially interested in the characters
of our mentor text, 'Marsh Island'. We noticed that as the novel progressed,
the characters were developed with specific traits that helped us to make
predictions about what might happen next.
