Writing Page!

  3-2 just loves to write, write, write!

This week we will be working on the writing traits: organization and ideas

Our writing this week will allow us to work on our organization skills. We 
will be writing our own autobiographies. Since we are studying Ellen Ochoa 
and reading her biography, we are going to creat one of our own. The students 
will be asked to bring in pictures from home that remind them of past 
memories. After sharing these pictures with the class, we will use a graphic 
organizer to detail our time as a baby, famil, school days, favorite 
memories,and what we see for our future. The students will then use this 
information to write thier own "mini autobiography."


**At home**
Please help your child pick out pictures that would help them remember 
important events that occured when they were young. Also, any photos that 
spark fond memories.  When the children are done writing and sharing their 
autobiographies, I will make a book that each child will get a chance to take 
home and share. This is a great way to get to know the class, and also see 
the wonderful things that the children write about. I am looking forward to 
seeing what they accomplish!!
