Publishing Party

Last week, our class celebrated finishing their personal narratives with a publishing party! The students worked hard to revise and edit their stories into their best and final drafts. They also made covers and an about the author page to tell their readers a little bit about themselves.

As the students read their stories, it warmed my heart to look around the room and see smiles, laughing, questions of curiosity, compliments and proud authors. The students did an EXCELLENT job and the growth in the writing that I saw over the last month or two has just been amazing.

The students also were able to fill up the GEM box once again by being respectful, responsible and safe. They voted to bring a stuffed animal to school, and they were also invited to the publishing party! Check out the narratives on display outside our classroom on our bulletin board!
