- First, we talked about our special places, and the memories we had in those places.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Then, we spent a lot of time reading books about memories, then using the ideas from the books to brainstorm, sketch and list our memories and personal special places in the world.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Next, we created a Map of Good Memories (Art and Social Studies).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Finally, we chose one of those memories to write about. We tried to use 5W questions to help us extend and add details (who, what, where, when, why).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Check out our bulletin board! These maps are amazing.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
On your child’s Team channel, you will see a writing sample about one of their memories. This writing was done independently over 3 days. Teachers didn\u2019t edit or help with spelling, ideas, or organization. It is a snapshot of what your child can do in writing at this moment in time, but it doesn\u2019t tell the whole story. Your child is growing and changing as a writer every day, and as adults, we must celebrate their amazing growth!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Please read your child’s writing and the teacher comments attached, focusing on the strengths that you see. I am so proud of each of our students, and we still have more than 5 months to keep working on things like spelling, punctuation, and grammar. The most important thing teachers want to see is that your child feels like a writer, and keeps practicing writing every day. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
When you are finished reading your child\u2019s work, please make a comment on TEAMS by clicking REPLY and typing something that you\u2019re proud of in their writing, or something that you noticed about their work. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
