Writers' Notebooks


On Monday students began decorating their Writing Notebooks.  A Writer's Notebook gives students a place to write every day… to practice living like a writer. Students’ notebooks are a place for them to generate stories, find ideas, practice their spelling skills and get creative about what they would like to write.

A goal in second grade is for students to be able to think and write at the same time, for students to get words down on a page, or even a couple of pages during one writer's workshop.  Today we decorated our Writer’s Notebooks with photographs of people, things, place we hold dear in our hearts.  These photographs will remind students of the various experiences they have encountered and can write about.
