Touch and Tell, Then Sketch, Then Write!

First graders have been writing some wonderful Small Moment stories during Writer's Workshop. They have been working hard trying to use the steps of "touch and tell" (orally telling their story while touching each page), "then sketch" (sketch their ideas across all 3 pages of their booklet), "then write". They also now have writing partners whom they work next to each day.  They are learning how to help and support each other during the writing process.
