Publishing Party!

What a fun day today! We have been working so hard on "growing" our seed ideas into stories and we have finally finished our first piece of writing. We started out with our seed ideas...

began our rough draft in our writing journals...

wrote our first draft on our yellow drafting paper, making sure we have a beginning, middle and end and also editing for spelling... and finally we polished and published our writing pieces on this beautiful publishing paper!

Today was a celebration of all our hard work. We each got to read our writing to the class while we sipped on punch and ate pretzels for our publishing party! We also responded to one of our friend's stories and wrote what we liked about it. We brought our responses home to share with our parents!

We can't wait for you to come and read our work at Open House; Thursday, September 24th at 6:30. See you there!
