New Writing Showcase

In my classroom right now we are working on nonfiction writing. Oh me, oh my, this is a tough one to teach kinders. This is what I did, I let each kiddo choose a book that they like to read, even if it was completely above their level. We then worked on a sentence they could write to tell about the book.  I give each student a writing goal sheet, so that I can write on it exactly what I want them to work on. With some of the kids it is finger spaces, others are working on word wall spelling. I used this sheet to correct the things in their sentence that needed work. While I worked with some kids, the others got to work on their cover. I had them try to do it exactly like it is on their book. Well, I put together a bulletin board to show off our book reports. Book reports are non fiction, so it works!
