Today, we began looking into small moments. You may realize your child came home with a tiny topic notebook! These are used to capture the tiny moments (seed moments, see below) they want to remember, that would make great stories! I asked them to carry these with them to make sure they catch every small moment they deem important. Their goal is to record this memory, or snapshot, in 3 to 5 words!
Tomorrow, we will dig into seed vs. watermelons (big picture vs. tiny snapshots), and will continue this week to look at how to stretch those seeds, or snapshots, into stories across multiple pages! I cannot wait to see what they come up with, and share your student's writing with you!
Watermelon vs. Seed Stories:
These are posters we will use to talk about watermelon vs. seed stories.
