Writing to change the world!

We just wrapped up our study of How To writing. Our new unit has sparked a new kind of passion for writing! We are learning about opinion writing and we are calling it "writing to change the world". Children have looked around our classroom and school and noticed problems that they think should be solved. Next they thought about how the problem could be solved and then they are writing to solve it! Kids are writing songs, posters, letters and books.
Because this writing is so self-directed, the children are loving it! I've had begging for 5 more minutes of writing on multiple days. Ask your child what problem they are working on solving!
