Kinder Authors by Lacey Abraham (Kindergarten teacher)


Kindergarten recently completed a persuasive letter writing! unit The kids caught the “letter writing” bug that inspired them to keep up the tradition of writing letters to each other! We started this writing unit with learning about the structure of a letter.  We wrote a friendly letter to another person in our classroom.  It has been so much fun to see the excitement on their faces when they hand a friend a letter they have written.

 



We also read persuasive mentor texts during our whole group reading lessons to determine how the author is persuading the reader.  We read I Wanna Iguana and then wrote persuasive letters to our parents to convince them to buy us a new pet! The kids wanted pets ranging from cats to hedgehogs, to even a dinosaur!!! Wow! I wonder if anyone  convinced their parents?!?!
