Youngest-Learner Week 4
Y--We do not have writing centers in the library. We have each class K-4th only one hour per week. However when we do writing projects with the classes we instruct the students in story development, using beginning middle and end for their stories. We model a story by reading a short story for them before we begin we point out the parts of the story for them. This gives them a fresh idea of how a story flows. When we have a list of the words the students are studying for that week we ask them to include some or all of their words in their stories. We will give the students a picture of non-related items and have them make up a story about what they see. Because we do not have any student computers in the library, the students must write their stories on paper which we supply. We display their stories on the wall in the library which helps to encourage them. We will often have a contest for the most interesting story, with the prize being a pencil.

I am sure you have a place where you keep these things, but you just take it for granted and don't really think of it as being a writing center. So give yourself a high five for the work you do.
