Writer's Workshop... When you think you're done...You've just begun!

Today we learned that there is always more you can do to make your writing piece better!! After working for several days on our sunflower pieces writers were ready for the last phase...adding color! Today each writer was given his/her own box of crayons! They are labeled with their names. We practiced opening and closing the lid carefully. We talked about how, if you pull out more than one crayon and leave them lying on the table, they will surely get mixed up with others. After all, the individual crayons do not have names on them :-) Writers practiced putting one crayon back before taking out another as they worked silently to color in their pieces.

I don't know that I've ever seen such focus! They were silent as they worked!

Amazing writers we have here!
