The Grade One Writing Program by Tracy Moriarity When the children in Mrs. Murphy's Grade One class come in each morning, they either get their writing books out of their desks or they go to their writing centre and get a piece of paper. Then they write about something that happened to them. Some make up story books. Just recently the children received big writing folders in which they put the stories they've written. The children are allowed to ' use crayons, markers, etc. to illustrate their stories. The Grade One. teachers are teaching each child separately. Some Grade One's are learning beginning sounds, others are learning words, and others are learning sentences. The teachers found that writing and reading go together and that the children found it easier to read their own spelling. The teachers also found the children can read more fluently. It sounds like fun! Project Fair by Tracy Moriarity On March 26 Waverley will hold its Third Annual Project Fair. Students from Grades 3 to 6 are allowed to enter.
