Editing?!?!?!
Today we wrote about what we went on the weekend. Once we finished writing, we reviewed our writing to see what extra details we could add. Some of us needed to add more details to our pictures and some of us needed to add more specific details in our writing. Please ask your child, what extra detail did they include in their work today?
