Writing Buddies Day 1

Writing Buddies!

I wanted to create a way to collaborate across grade levels better this year. I approached a second grade teacher, Mr. Hall, about working with his students in writing. As many educators know, we struggle across the nation with writing. In an effort to develop our students into stronger writers.

Today we launched our Writing Buddies. Our 2nd grade friends had stories they've already been working on. As fourth graders our job was the help them edit, revise, add "fancy language" and help them expand their ideas and thinking.

It worked out very well for day one and we cannot wait to share again next week!
