“Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower.”

I thought I would go along with the whole "Seed Idea" when coming up with a title for this week's blog! Last Wednesday, I thought it was really helpful to meet with our partners to discuss possible Seed Ideas for our upcoming project. I have some possible rough draft ideas that I am going to share in class next week, and hopefully I will be able to get some good input! I can't wait to see how everyone's final pieces turn out. This is another project that I will be able to incorporate into my future classroom!

The Writing Analysis worksheet also allowed me to develop a deeper level of understanding children's writing. By answering the questions about the writing piece, I was able to get a feel for why my student chose certain words, and why he writes the way he does. It also helped me realize different approaches I can take in order for him to improve upon his writing skills.
