Writing, Writing, and more Writing.

We are going to do a lot of writing this year.

We should be writing two times a week (Monday and Wednesday)

I think it's very important to teach the children how to organize their writing. Any of the students can write me a page about anything, but the students don't really know who to organize their thoughts and write it in a way so other people can understand them.

Today the students wrote abut their favorite place in the world. First, we write on a worksheet that where the students write their topic sentence and the reasons that support their topic sentence. Then we turn those reasons into full sentences and organize them form most to least important. Last, the students start to write the actual paragraph and turn it into me.

We are going to start a new unit about The Human Body. Tomorrow is our first day and we will be talking about bones and the skeletal system.
