Joseph is writing down his skateboard story after he built it out of blocks.<\/p><\/div>\n

Today, in Story Workshop, we added blank books as one of the choices for the kids to use. \u00a0As a class we talked about how they could create their stories using materials and then write down the story or how they could create a little and then write a little. \u00a0The goal with introducing the blank books later was for the kids to see how powerful the materials can be alone and how they can help add to the original stories. \u00a0It was great to see how many of the students chose to write while they were creating! \u00a0They wanted to remember their story!<\/p>\n

Story Workshop is something that I am really excited about this year as a teacher. \u00a0In the past, we have has Writer’s Workshop for our writing. \u00a0While the two workshops are very similar, in my opinion, Story Workshop allows for even more creativity. \u00a0The kids are able to use manipulatives and materials to act out, paint, sculpt, or even draw before they put the story all together. \u00a0In the past, they were limited to paper, and writing materials such as crayons, pencils, pens, and markers. \u00a0With Story Workshop, they are going to be able to use clay, collage, blocks, natural materials, watercolors, oil pastels, and even more! \u00a0 \u00a0 These materials can help the kids add more details to their stories! It adds a deeper level to their creations. \u00a0It is almost as if they are creating their first “draft” when they are using the manipulatives. \u00a0I am looking forward to seeing where Story Workshop takes us this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
