Writing Personal Narratives

We have started our first writing piece here in Room 16 and student's parents and families can help. The students are working on Personal Narratives (true stories about themselves) and are in the brainstorming stage. They have come up with lists of moments in their lives that are memorable by thinking of people, places, and objects that are important to them. Ask your child about the moments they have chosen. The best way for you to help them is to talk to them about these moments and memories. You may recall a detail they had forgotten, or you may give them a new perspective. We will continue working on this writing piece for approx. 3 more weeks, so continually talk to your child about what they are writing. Sometimes letting them tell you their story, helps them write more in class. Happy chatting!
