In writing the students have been learning to write friendly letters. Using the Letter Generator from ReadWriteThink, the students wrote a class letter to Kindergarten about all of the things they learned and enjoyed in first grade. After modeling how to write a friendly letter, the students wrote letters to Kindergarten on their own. After editing the letters in writing workshop, they wrote their final drafts. Last Thursday the students visited Mrs. Munoz's Kindergarten class to read their letters to her students.

Your kiddos are so cute! Do you have a lot of Spanish speakers? I love all of your ideas. They're totally inspiring me with ideas for next year!

Emily,
ReplyDeleteI do have some Spanish speakers but not a lot. We have two ESL classes on our grade level and soon to be a dual language program.
