Students seem very excited about their "tiny topics" notebooks! We have been thinking like writing detectives and searching for story topics throughout our days. Students have been taking their "tiny topics" notebooks home in case they need to write down story ideas, notes, or sketches. During our writing workshop time, we can take out our notebooks to help us decide what to write next. Please help your child remember to bring his/her notebook back to school each day. It seems to work best if the notebook can "live" in your child's backpack, so we always know where to find it.
This week, we were fortunate to have author and EMES parent, Linda Urban, visit us during our writing workshop time. Linda has been creating notebooks for years to help her remember story ideas, record her research, and organize her thinking. It was inspiring to see the wonderful ideas and illustrations in her notebooks! We hope to have Linda visit again very soon.
