Writer's Workshop

We have begun our regular practice of Writer's Workshop. We are learning that we have stories to tell and we can write about them at writer's workshop. In kindergarten we do a lot of storytelling and planning of our stories. We talk a lot about what happened first in our story, next and last. For most of us, writing at this point in the year is drawing our stories. We talk about the many details we can add to our stories and eventually we will be adding labels in the pictures and writing letters and words for our sentences. Writing in the kindergarten year evolves from mostly drawings to eventually drawings with sentences. There is a large progression throughout the year and it's exciting to watch. I'll explain more about this as the year progresses. 

Below you can see us hard at work on our stories. It was so quiet and the kids were working so hard. They are taking this important work very seriously!
