Writing

Students are expected to begin writing paragraphs in third grade. We do many prewriting activities before writing and then eventually begin to develop well written paragraphs. Paragraphs need to have at least five sentences with a topic sentence and supporting details. Students must also have a concluding sentence in their paragraph.
