Read in BIGGER scoops!

We have learned that finding lots of words we know helps us read more and read faster. Scooping these words up together and reading in bigger scoops makes reading feel faster and smoother. 
Remember to SCOOP your words!

Enjoy these pictures of our class as they examined the zinnias for details before  going off to add details to their writing pieces. 

Magnifying Small Moments

Today in writing we learned how to "magnify" our small moments by noticing and recording details.
Our writers examined zinnia flowers and shared the details they noticed. 
"Writing is seeing. It is paying attention. That kind of seeing, paying attention, is at the heart of a writerly life." -Lucy Calkins
