Building Writing Routines

For our writing lesson today we learned what to do when we get stuck during writing and what to do when we finish our writing.  The children did a great job checking their books to make sure they had pictures and words on every page and 5 or more colors per page.  The children learned today that they need to plan before they write (using post-it notes) and begin a new book.  It is so exciting to see the children independently writing and planning their stories!  Here are some pictures we took for our anchor charts of how to start a book and where to get ideas (idea folder and our memories).
