Our Kindergarten students have just begun writing stories with a beginning, middle and end. We wanted to celebrate their achievement by sharing their stories with you. I am a first year teacher at Holmes Elementary. Through this experience I noticed the students not only learned how to write stories with greater detail and practice reading, but the act of reading their own stories also made them aware of their own handwriting and the importance of being able to write legibly. Working with the camera provided them the opportunity to see, hear, and learn from themselves as well as their classmates. I look forward to posting more stories and watching their comfort and skills grow.
