Our December focus for Writer's Workshop is letter writing. We have discussed the format of a letter, the purpose of a letter, and the ways letters can be used to share information. We have written to our first grade pen pals in East Montpelier, and also have written some letters together. We will continue to read books that feature letters. This week, we looked at "Click, Clack, Moo." The story uses letters to show persuasion and negotiation. Some first graders have decided to work on letters in their writing notebooks. So far I have seen letters to : our class pet Ozzie, Santa, Mr. Bradley, and to classmates. I cannot wait to see what happens next week when we create small mailboxes in the classroom!
If you enjoy letter writing, or have special family letters to share, please let me know.
