Summer Reading Review

What a fun filled week at Memorial! Between Field Day and getting ready for our Open House it was hard to focus long enough to get anything done...but we sure did! We wrapped up our final writing unit this week. The children learned all about opinion writing. We started by writing about our collections from home and choosing our "best in show." Next we learned how to review a topic and persuade our reader of our opinions. Children reviewed restaurants, games, movies, and so much more! Finally, to close out the unit children chose a favorite book to review and recommend.

They have grown so much as writers this year! They are independent with their topics, excited to share all they know, and this time around convincing with their persuasive voice!! They got to share their reviews in small groups. At the end, we put together a summer reading list, first grade reviewed and approved! Enjoy!
