Language Arts Day 1

My half an hour flew by today.  The students loved the fact that they were learning to write letters from a book even though some of the students had already heard the story.  After hearing the story though the students were able to list all the parts that needed to be included in a letter.  They surprised themselves that they were able to complete this on the first try.  When it came to writing a letter together, they started to get confused and I heard some students say think back to the story that we heard.  What an amazing day to see these students at work, I cannot wait to see what they come up with when they are writing their own letters.
