Pen pals encourage love of writing
As Florida FCAT Writes approaches, two teachers from Old Kings Elementary School are teaching younger students to become engaged writers.
Second-grade teacher Kristen Dickinson and third-grade teacher Ellen Sperber have joined forces to pair up their classes by becoming writing pen pals. This vertical alignment in instruction will support fourth-grade student-writing proficiency. The students write to each other daily as they build vocabulary, increase sentence fluency and learn about conventions.
Pen paling is one way Old Kings Elementary School teachers are incorporating writing into the curriculum to inspire students to write everyday and enjoy the writing process while implementing writing strategies that will develop successful writers.
