Map of Our Hearts

In Writing Workshop we have been learning a lot about each other and the materials in our classroom.  Last Friday, we began Writing Workshop by thinking and drawing about the things we love and hold in our hearts.  All of these thoughts help us to become better writers because we could write about them every single day.  We have so many stories about the things we hold in our hearts that sometimes it is hard to pick just one to write about.  Students shared the things, people, places they hold in their hearts.  Students then drew the things they love.  Below are students’ “Maps of Their Hearts”.
