This week the fourth graders started working on their first personal narrative. They are writing about a pet dog that helps them or someone in some way. Here's one way the story could begin:
His name was Jake. I'm pretty sure that was his real name although I never met his owners. He was the neighborhood dog that lived across the street. We had lots of fun together, but there was one adventure I'll never forget.
After finishing their rough drafts, the students will learn how to revise and edit their work until they have a final draft of their best writing so far this year. Stay tuned for more examples!
We are finished with Topic 2 in Math and about to start a unit on place value which should be mostly review. We'll see about that!
