Author Celebration: Personal Narratives

We spent quite a few weeks on writing personal Narratives. personal Narratives are true stories that happen to you. I loved hearing all the stories and experiences that each student has had outside of school. 

Because our unit was coming to an end, we celebrated our growth as authors with an author celebration. Here are some pictures of us sharing our stories with each other. 

Nicky Noun

This week we focused on Nouns. A noun is a person, place or thing. This is a review from first grade, and the kids did very well. Each student had the opportunity to add a person, place and a thing to my friend Nicky!  After adding nouns to Nicky, we also found nouns in our writing. 

Writing will have great emphasis this year. I strive to make each student a great author while also instilling a love for the "task" as well. These small mini lessons on grammar will be one key to making your child a better writer. 

Nicky is a reminder of what a noun is. He will stay on our classroom wall for a while. 

Beautiful Writing Weather

The weather has been so nice!  We have been taking all the opportunities we can to go outside. 

I was hoping that writin outside would spark some new ideas during wiring time!
