Our First Publishing Party ..

In First Grade we have been working a lot on writing. I am very proud to say that our first graders have published their very first piece of writing. The first step was to  discuss things we are interested in, as well as things we love, and like to do. I modeled for the class how to turn those discussions  into a list and from there the writing process began. The kids learned how to write across pages, with lots of detail and content. Once they finished writing their first draft, I taught them what it means to edit and revise. This is part of the writing process, before a piece can be published. Once each child was confident they were happy with their piece, they made a cover page. Next we had a grand celebration where the kids enjoyed snacks, and read what they wrote in the Author's Chair.
