Meet the Authors of Rockin' Room 212-These kiddos are seriously ROCKIN' WRITERS!
In Writers Workshop we have learned about poetry, opinion, narrative and non-fiction writing! We LOVE reading books by other authors to help us find our inspiration for our own books! This year as a teacher...that LOVES reading and writing...I have had 1 goal for my first graders...inspire them to find their voice as writers! In other words to ignite a passion for writing in these youngin's souls and help them realize that what they have to say...is important and worth being written. Getting ready for Meet the Author Day proved that these babies truly LOVE to write! They begged and begged to start the day with Writer's Workshop...and to continue writing during the Daily 5 rounds...one day we even skipped recess...SUCCESS!!!!!
Meet the Author Day was a day dedicated to the authors of Rockin' Room 212. Each author set up his or her desk with a poster and books written and illustrated by the very proud first grader!
