As part of our school-wide write, we read the story If I Built A School by Chris Van Duden and explored the prompt if I built a school… Students then engaged in the writing process, including planning and writing to share their ideas.
Vikhya shares a story she has created during our Author’s Chair.
Over the past week, we took part in a school wide write. Through story and discussion, we explored the questions what makes a good friend? Students then engaged in the writing process, including planning and writing to share their ideas around friendship.
We have been working on finding stories while exploring different materials. So far, we have explored loose parts (gems, natural materials, character figures, buttons, wire etc.) and paint to help us find stories. We have then been capturing our stories on paper to share with others. Vikhya has chosen to share her story called Be Yourself.
Vikhya’s reflection: I am proud because each page there is a big sister and a small sister. The big sister is Lily and the small sister is Nina. Each page, they are telling us what to do and what not to do.
I am working on trying to tell everyone my story nicely so they don’t get confused.
