Publishing Party!

The Kindergarten students enjoyed their very first experience participating in a classroom Writers Workshop publishing party!  The purpose of the publishing party is to celebrate all the learning that has taken place during the previous unit(s) of study in writing.

Students spent the days before the party preparing their work.  First, they chose a writing piece from their folder, then they revised it by fixing up the words and pictures, and finally they practiced reading it aloud to a partner.  

For the party itself, each writer was given the opportunity to read their writing in front of their peers, take a bow, and listen to the applause!    We capped off the celebration with a light snack and juice.  The students are working hard to learn the very complex skill of writing, and we will celebrate all of our hard work again soon! 

One student wrote a teaching book about cats. "Cats need food. I bought a cat.. Cat food water."

"Cats need rest.  That is not mine"
