The children were very excited to write their own mini books on Thursday. The best part was when the children took turns sitting on the teacher chair to read their book to the class. When each author was done reading - everyone cheered for them & the book that they wrote. It was awesome!!
Then on Friday, when I presented each of them with their own Journal they acted as if I had given them an incredible gift. They were thrilled & got busy writing right away! After our journal time was over, I head a child say -"Oh, I wish it wasn't the
weekend because I want to come back tomorrow & write some more!"
(Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of them in action!) I love seeing them so enthused about writing at such a young age. I look forward to the days & months ahead of us. Helping these little authors grow is going to be so much fun!
We were invited to the 2nd grade room to see the communities that they built. We also listened to the reports that they wrote. It was fun to see our Book Buddies being good writing role models too! Thank you 2nd graders!
