Small Moments Writing Celebration

We finished our study of personal narrative writing ("Small Moments") on Thursday. Some goals for this writing unit were: 

• "Zooming in" on an event that happened in our lives
• Describing what happened in story form with a beginning, middle, and end
• Making our writing easy to read by including letters for most sounds in words and using appropriate spacing
• "Unfreezing" our characters by including action words, dialogue/speech bubbles as well as feelings and thoughts characters have
• Understanding the writing process:  thinking of an idea, planning (verbally and through sketching), writing, rereading, revising, editing, and publishing

We celebrated by sharing our stories with friends in other TAISM first grade classes. I am so proud of all the 1MW students have learned!
