writing to make the world better

This past week the Kindergarteners have been working on a new kind of writing; writing to make the world better. They brainstormed ideas about problems they have seen in our classroom, school, or community. We talked about why these are problems and how to fix them or make them better.

1. See a problem
2. Why is it a problem? What are your reasons?
3. Think of a fix-it idea!

The work they have been doing this week will support them as they begin to write persuasive pieces. While they developed independent pieces at the beginning of the week, we wrote a collaborative piece at the end of the week. They voted to write about the trash we have found on our playground, because trash on the playground is a big problem! Together we practiced providing more than one reason, the more reasons you give the more persuasive you will be.



1. We love our little playground, but we have found lots of trash!

 

 











2. Trash on the little playground is a problem, because it hurts everything. The plants and the animals.

 

 

3. We are worried that if we don't fix this problem, more and more trash will end up on our beautiful playground.

 

 

4. We think we need a trash can and helpful posters to keep our space clean. What do you think?
