Work on Writing

During Work on Writing, the students usually have the option for a free write in their journals. This week, I placed a new option for them to choose from. Every month I put up a new monthly words poster in our word work/writing area. Students can take a paper from the folder below the poster and use one of the words in a sentence. After writing the sentence, they draw a picture! When the rotation is over they show me their writing and if they are finished they can take it home that day. If they are not finished, they simply put the paper in their book box to return and finish the next time they choose Work on Writing.
