Writing Celebration!


 Our second writing celebration was wonderful! This writing unit focused on writing small moments. When we write a small moment, we want to focus on one event that has happened to us in our lives. For example, we wouldn't want to write about our entire birthday party, we would want to write about just opening presents or just eating cake. If we can zoom in on one moment, it forces us to stretch out the story with details, which is what good writers do.
We have a juice toast before we start reading our stories.

It is such a great feeling to accomplish our goals!

After we toast, we each take turns reading our stories to the class. Our book is displayed on the document camera for everyone to see!
 
We had some extra time after everyone was finished reading, so we celebrated by dancing to the chicken dance:)
