This week, we are focusing on strategies that good writers use in their writing. Today, we focused on spacing. I started the morning by writing my morning message without any spaces. The students were so surprised that they couldn't read what I had written! After I told them that lots of sight words were in my sentence, they were even more surprised.
This week we have been using the text, Sadie and the Snowman as our mentor text.
Today we wrote the beginning part of our story when Sadie decided to build a snowman. The students used marshmallows to ensure that they had proper spacing between their words.
Great idea! I love the idea of using marshmallows.
