Writing Celebration

We ended our first writing unit with a toast!  We worked hard for several weeks learning about what good writers include in their personal narratives.  We learned about writing strong leads, using dialogue to make our writing more interesting, when to start new paragraphs in our stories and much more!  Then, everyone selected the writing piece they felt was their best and we worked and editing and revising to make our work even better!  Then everyone published their story and illustrated a cover to go with it.  To celebrate all of our hard work we had a writing celebration where we shared our stories with each other in small groups.  At the end we had a toast to good writing.  We can't wait until our next celebration!
