Celebrating our Writing

We have been hard at work during Writer's Workshop. 

During our first five weeks of Kindergarten we focus on drawing.
During this unit we are:

learning about writer's workshop

using a variety of tools

developing on our fine motor skills

studying authors and illustrators and the creative choices they make

learning how to fill the white space

practicing drawing {lines, shapes, people, animals, buildings, and more!}

using details

adding speech bubbles

and more!!

I have done many drawing posts in the past, you can check them out here:

We capture many of our drawings from mini-lessons in our Doodles and Drawings book.
Find that here:

I updated this product over the summer - so there are 2 versions Funky and Kinder friendly. 
You can find more on that HERE. 

I was SO PROUD of my growing writers as they shared what they had learned with their guests at our 1st writing celebration.

They *ARE* listening, woohoo! 


We have been studying Mo Willems and we're totally bonkers about Pigeon. We've loved all of his books, especially Pigeon Needs a Bath and Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog.

We had a fun "Hot Dog Party" to celebrate our writing. It was LOVELY to see so many writers curled up with their families around our classroom.
