Writing Workshop: Draw, Label, and Write!

In this 6 week course, students will move from writing letters to sentences and beyond! We will meet 2 days per week and have fun while learning how to sound out words, use proper sentence structure, and play with silly sight words to get out our wiggles! This class is for beginner writers who have previous knowledge of almost all letter formation and letter sounds. Each class will consist of a community building question of the day, short mini lesson, hands on activity, movement brain break, and finally independent writing time. We will progress from writing words to sentences, learn to label our drawings, and take pride in sharing our work!

We will have fun  and learn so much adding to our interactive spiral notebook each week. Students will be active learners and have this place to organize notes and practice short activities throughout the 6 week course. Students will also use a writing folder to keep track of unfinished and completed work. By the end of the 6 weeks students will have a collection of all sight words and activities completed. This will be a valuable tool for learner's to use in the future! 

Wiggly writers will learn to be confident in their writing and have fun while doing it! This semester course is highly engaging, educational, and fun. I look forward to seeing your little learner in my classroom!
