3rd Grade Writing Buddies

To assist with revising and editing, we invited Miss VanArkel’s 3rd graders into our classroom. It was a fantastic experience for all of the students. They read 3 stories from their composition book and discussed which one they should choose to publish with their buddy. The 3rd graders taught them the use of a time line to add additional details and the 2nd graders talked about similes and sound effects. I was especially impressed when the children were drawing pictures of what they visualized from their buddies (thus showing carryover from reading).

I’m am looking ahead to January, if at all possible, could you send in a wide ruled composition book for Writer’s Workshop. Many of the children have filled the composition book that we purchased for them at the beginning of the year. If you are unable to do so, please let me know. Thanks!
