Writing Workshop
Fifth graders live like writers! They have meaningful and heartfelt ideas to share as they write daily, working to improve the craft though careful observation, noticing what authors do, and trying those moves in their own writing. Each student is responsible for maintaining a Writer’s Notebook that travels between home and school. The Teachers College Writing Workshop is used in our classroom with a focus on writing personal narrative, essays, response to literature, poetry and memoir. Students are recognizing the different purposes for writing: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain, as they continue to build stamina to write long and increase volume.
