Persuasive Writing

Today I introduced the boys and girls to a new writing form called persuasive writing. When I announced that this would be our writing focus over the next two weeks all I heard was "yessssssss!" in the crowd. I love when their reactions are so enthusiastic! Today we just talked about the text form and read an adorable book called "I Wanna New Room." In this story a young kid, named Alex, tries to convince his mom and dad that he should not have to share a bedroom with his younger brother. The book is full of voice and is a great model for this text form. I look forward to lots of fun with writing over the next two weeks!
