Writing is very important in our classroom. We do it EVERYDAY, multiple times a day. Student choice is also very important in this classroom. Today students were introduced to the writing center. Work on writing is one of the 6 centers during literacy time. At this center, students have complete choice over what they write. They can write anything! Lists, letters, recipes, postcards, nonfiction stories, fiction stories, biographies, interviews....the possibilities are endless. We also have our writer's notebooks and class journals. Today each student picked what type of writing they wanted to do and worked independently for 15 minutes. Then we had a group share. Explicit writing instruction comes during a separate block - during Writer's Workshop (which is 3 times a week).
