Persuasive Writing in Grade 1

First grade students read their persuasive letters to different staff today. Some of the writing was to persuade Mr. Kip and Ms. Govoni for an extra gym class, Mr. Lyons and Mrs. Tilton to have lunch with students in their offices, and former kindergarten teachers the opportunity to read to kindergarten students.

The students used a QBall which is a throwable, wireless, soft ball to read their writing. Students delighted in the fact they could see a real life application and context to their writing.
