We have started the process of introducing ECR to these 3rd graders. We took time to understand the prompt, looked at some strong examples, and worked with a group to create our own essay! Afterwards, we came together to share our groups work. @UnionParkElem @dentonisd

When your own child is so proud of his work he begged his teacher to send a picture to me.
“The zoo has zebra and lions and sharks” so proud of our kindergarten, and the confidence he’s building within himself. 💙

Today we went over our pre-assessment question of authors craft. After modeling , and looking at strong examples, students got their pre-assessment back they took few weeks ago. Each had feedback provided and they then revised their answers after learning the content.

When we first look at students writing, let’s honor what they CAN do, before jumping to what needs to be “improved.”
