How glad I am to have a chance to update you on the writing your child has been doing! Our current nonfiction writing unit is important for many reasons, but most of all, it is important because children are being given the chance to teach each other what they know. You should see how tall these children sit when they become the teachers, instructing others on the topics of polar bears and water polo!
I truly couldn't be more proud of our writers and I tell them this every day! To read their authentic, original writing brings me so much joy. The children shared their published work with one another through a Gallery Walk today. Third graders browsed the room, read one another's books, and shared compliments for the writing!
