final workshops

In our final writing workshop the children shared their writing to make the world better with the first and second graders in Ms. Richardson's class. In their writing they stated a problem, used reasons to persuade their audience, and provided a fix-it idea.

We shared copies of the check list the Kindergarten writers developed and asked the first and second graders to use our check list to guide their support and feedback.

The children have worked hard on developing check lists based on the essentials in our writing units. These check lists are a way for children to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding and use their language and words to guide their writing.

 

 

 

In our final math workshop the children reread their journals and reflected on their goals as mathematicians. We noticed how our work has changed and progressed over the year; many celebrated growth in their number printing and use of new strategies. It was powerful to observe children read through their math journals one last time, thinking about what they felt proud of and what they are working on. For our share, each child read their math reflection to our community!
