September Writing Idea

This post will share with you a September book idea from my wonderful teaching friend Amy. The book is called Things I Love. Amy had her students make these books the first week of school. You can see two samples below. I LOVE this idea and plan to use it in my kindergarten class next year! Thanks for sharing Amy!!!  Amy teaches first grade. 

 I love to play baseball.
 I love to play football because I love to play sports.
 I love my family because they are nice.
 I love soccer because

 My little baby sister sleeps a lot but I still love her.
 I love mama and dada cause they do nice things for me.
 I love my stuffed animal she is the best stuffed animal in the world.
 I like dogs and cats.
I really like pretty things.

Persuasive Writing

I was a little nervous about teaching persuasive writing this year! Teaching this writing unit is a first for me. We started by writing the principal a letter about getting a class pet. 

Students had to write a letter to persuade a family member.
I think the letters came out great!
These lessons come from the book Explorations in Nonfiction Writing for Kindergarten by Tony Stead and Linda Hoyt.
