Writing Binders

 At the beginning of the year we take time to make our writing binders a special place to hold our writing.  The students use pictures of themselves, family, and friends to make collages that will decorate their binders and help them with writing ideas in the future.  I also love looking at their pictures and the collages they make to see what is important in their lives.  The students will fill up their binders with stories of playing with friends, riding their bikes, going on vacations with their families, playing their favorite sports, details of their pets, and so much more!  Writing is a special time of the day.  We turn down the lights, turn on our quiet music, and put our thoughts down on paper.  They are so proud of what they write!
