Writing "Kick Off" Celebration

Since we started second grade, we have been getting ready to become writers in 212!  Our first writing unit will be personal narrative, but we couldn't start without a few key things.  The students helped me make a list of writing supplies we would need.  Then, we started by telling stories that have happened to us.  Students decorated their writing folders to make them special.  On Friday, we had a folder fashion show and even started writing.  Here are some pictures from our writing "kick-off" lessons. I can't wait to start reading their work!
