Writing During Read Aloud

The 5 mini iPads that we ordered from our art auction money came today and we are so excited. We drew pictures as we visualized the story we are reading called Seekers, by Erin Hunter. It is a wonderful story about three different types of bears. Here is what happened in the story today.

Later in the afternoon we added another "Slice of Life" to our memory books. Here TW is looking at our classroom blog to help him remember a moment that he wants to write about. He has started his writing with a 4 square which helps him organize his writing and also helps him know when to start a new paragraph.
