We are thrilled to share the progress our students are making in their writing journey! At Gold Rush, we take great pride in our students' analytical and process writing. When students are focused on process writing they are diving deep into various writing genres, including poetry, narrative, informational, and opinion writing.
Currently, kindergarteners are writing I Can books. Their books focus on all the things that they are able to do. Their topics range from riding a bike, being a good friend, taking care of a pet and reading. We are proud of how students are including details and stretching out the sounds in words.
Our third graders are engaged in informational writing, focusing on topics they are passionate about. From sports to pet care, students are honing their ability to organize information into well-structured paragraphs while adding rich details to enhance their writing.
Our fourth graders have taken on the role of animal experts! After conducting research on animals of their choice, they are now crafting informative pieces about their chosen animals, exploring their habits, diets, and safety. It’s wonderful to see their curiosity come alive in their writing.
Across all grade levels, students are utilizing checklists to reflect on their work, which helps them become more thoughtful and intentional writers. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and the final pieces they are creating.
