Students in the Write

Mrs. Chulla’s class has been very busy learning about attributes in science. They read the book “The Important Book” by Margaret Wise Brown as part of a science lesson on attribute words. The students brainstormed important things about themselves, and then decided which was the most important. Later, each child wrote poems about their attributes following the pattern from “The Important Book.” Today, we are bringing those poems to you. So please, relax, listen, and enjoy!

Our “Heart of Writing” writing project was just that…writing that came from our hearts. We wrote about the things that were special and important to us. We did this by going through each step of the writing process. First, we brainstormed what topics would be in our hearts and then selected one topic to write about. We made a first draft of our writing and then revised it by adding a beginning, middle, and end to our stories. We also added details to our writing because we learned details make our work more interesting to read. We then edited our stories and made sure our writing had capitals and periods where they needed to be and made sure there was at least one vowel in every word we wrote. Then we published our work by writing a final copy. Finally, we shared our work with each other and with you!
