We Are Published Authors!


Last week, we celebrated the end of our Personal Narrative writing unit by having a PUBLISHING PARTY! After many weeks of writing stories about our own lives; each student published their best piece. During our publishing party, six students shared their finished piece with our class.

We ate popsicles and cheered on our fellow classmates while they stood tall and shared. We are so proud of ALL of the authors in our classroom. Check out our hallway to see your child's personal narrative piece hanging up!

Here is a sneak peek into our classroom during our publishing party. Our very own "J" is reading her personal narrative piece. Enjoy!



You can also check out another class favorite by listening to Lexie's story here:

  2. I love the Publishing Party idea. The children experience a sense of accomplishment. They can see the writing process from draft to published piece. This class has the "Write" Stuff!
