Writing Center Activities

Hey there!

I have been working on this center for over a year.  We used it last year, and I have to say - it worked out better than I could have imagined.  My kiddos fought loved going to the writing center to work in these binders, and they also loved reading what other kids wrote.   For years we did a Newsflash where my parents cut out newspaper pictures and students could pick the picture and write their own story.  They absolutely loved doing this, and our writing improved dramatically.  Åt the end of the day, students who had finished their Newsflash "article" were able to read it to their classmates.   Can I say, "PRICELESS!"  So, I started thinking that I really could do this with a variety of topics - and so I began to create these.  At first we did them as little books, but that was ONE.HOT.MESS!
