Mrs. Miller’s 4th Graders

Hello sweet friends,

At the new district I will be in, I am not allowed to share anything on socials, unless through the district or school page. Because of this, I will be taking this page down. I invite you to all take any pictures from posts of your babies and save them, before July 18th, when our school year over here begins.

Thanks for following along during this journey. I am grateful for you all!

I don’t think I can adequately put into words how proud of these students that I am. Look at these amazing fictional stories. One of them is TEN pages in length. I had kids coming to me asking if they could write additional stories and if I would read them if they did. Absolutely.

I never thought that sitting criss-cross, applesauce on the floor with my kids, making up pretend stories around a campfire, would be this effective. I’m astonished and completely sold on this fantastic prewriting strategy I learned at Camp Explore for Educators

We had another campfire chat today. The writing that these kids are producing has astounded me. I can’t wait to show you more as they complete them tomorrow. Very proud of these kiddos!

If you’re wondering about the post it notes. I tell my students that if they can speak a sentence, they can write it. This is an extra support I offer to those that need it. Look how incredible these two girls did coming up with their fictional story about someone who woke up realizing they had superpowers on their birthday.
