Chrysalis, writing partners, handwriting oh my!

On Monday (9/9) our Monarch caterpillar went into a chrysalis. We learned that it can also be called a pupa. We are now anxiously waiting for chrysalis to darken and for the butterfly to emerge.


In writing workshop we have started to work on our writing partnerships by learning how to share our stories with a peer. We do this before we write our stories and after we write our stories.


This is a peek at what it looks like when we are doing wet, dry, try to learn all of our capital letters. Some students like it so much that they asked if we could also learn our lowercase letters this way too.

  2. I'm glad you enjoy them. I hope it will also help bring school leaning into homes by jogging the student's memories about what happened during the week.
