Board Complete with Student Work

My students were SO EXCITED this morning when they saw the Writing Work"ship" display.  I explained to them that this display was for GREAT, NEAT work.  After lunch today I used an idea from @First Grade . . . At Last!!! 's blog.  I read Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus to the students and each student changed the story to make it their own . . . Don't let the pigeon stay up late! . . . Have a popcorn party. . . drive a truck.  The student's writing was great and the board is now complete!

Writing Work "ship" Display

Okay, here is the completed Writing Work "ship".

This week I have been working hard on learning how to use blogger.  :) 

At school I have been working a lot on my student's writing.  I have decided to do a Writer's Work "ship" this year!  My goal is to break the students into 5 groups.  Each group would attend one Writing Station Each Day and by the end of the week they will have attended each Station.   I plan to have two handwriting stations: one for Daily Oral Language and one for handwriting!  I also want to have a build-a-sentence station.  Where the students will learn to include a who, a what, and a where in their sentences.  The other stations will be for story telling and for journals. 

Today I went to School Tools our school supplies story and bought a Pirate's Themed Bulletin Board set.  I added postive phrases to each part!  I will post more pictures soon of the completed bulletin board!

Open House

Well, it has been a busy week!! I can't believe school starts tomorrow!! My teacher assistant and I have been working hard setting up our classroom and today was Open House!! We have a great group of students.  I can't wait to see the students in the morning!
