Writer's Workshop
We're working on opinion/persuasive writings and focusing on adding reasons for our opinions. One story we read for Writer's Workshop was, Ain't Gonna Paint No More. The little girl's mom takes her paints away because she painted all over the house and on herself. Together we brainstormed reasons the little girl could give her mom to convince her that she should get her paints back. The children then went off on their own and wrote their letter. One idea you could do at home is if your child is wanting something special or wanting to be able to do something special, have them write you a letter and see if they can convince you that they should get it or be able to do something they're requesting. We'll continue emphasizing adding at least 4 reasons to their opinion papers. We're also focusing a lot on forming letters correctly, starting sentences with a capital letter and ending with punctuation.
