Nibits for Newbies Write ON!

 

NIBITS FOR NEWBIES!

This week’s theme…

Writing in First Grade

Now… I wish I was PERFECT.

I wish my kiddos were PERFECT.

There are NO Perfect PEOPLE!

NO Perfect KIDDOS.

No  Perfect.

Now that we have gone there…how do we get close?

We get  BETTER!

Better…Better…Better

( My Mantra )

We write EVERY DAY.

Usually…more than once.

We write about our day in school…things we

like…stories we have read..etc.

I try to do a mini-lesson on a strategy.

We change our focus depending on our curriculum.

We do a writer’s workshop.

My kids write.

AND they LOVE IT!

HOW?

Give them paper, pencils, markers, colored pencils, etc…

Give them…TIME!

And … LET THEM TALK!

My classroom is NEVER quiet!

Discussion about writing, during writing, and after writing.

TALK, Write, Create!

Are they perfect?

NO.

Is that OK?

YES!

Write ON!

( If you need a starting point)

Here you go!  Have FUN!

– Just be BETTER!
