Last week, our 4th and 5th graders put their minds—and hearts—together for a collaborative writing session! ❤️✏️
Students chose to write about Clara Barton, Helen Keller, or Anne Frank and explain how their selected woman showed a figurative “great heart.” Our 5th graders loved revisiting these familiar articles, while our 4th graders enjoyed learning about these incredible women for the first time!
After breaking down the writing process, gathering strong text evidence, and having some AMAZING discussions, students worked together to create thoughtful, informative paragraphs. The conversations, collaboration, and learning happening around the room were so much fun to watch! 📝✨
