Newest Wall Stories

Here are our last two wall stories.  We read The Season's Of Arnold's Apple Tree to create the murals of all 4 seasons of trees.  We also read Go Away Big Green Monster and created a retelling of the book.

During our study of the farm and farm animals we read the original book of Mrs. Wishy-Washy.  My kiddos just loved the story and wanted to write a wall story about the book.  So,   here it is!  Enjoy!

Spring Time Wall Stories

These two stories were very colorful!  We had lots of fun writing both stories!

Wall Story

This was one of our winter time wall stories.  The pictures were stuck on my phone which was not working for a while!  So here is another wall story better late than never!

Chubby Little Bunny Wall Story

Here is one of our winter wall stories:

Some of the pictures are hard to see - I choose 1 student a day to "illustrate" our interactive writing piece for the day

Love this illustration!

We are required to post "We can" statements for any work that we display for the hall way.  Since all of my work that I display is done thru interactive writing I posted this blanket statement that covers any type of work that I display in the hall.  Of course it is not just out there for display.  My students use our interactive writing pieces (wall stories) for read the room workstation!  Love it when I can use one lesson for more than one purpose!!!

How To Build A Christmas Tree Wall Story

Here is our Christmas Wall Story!

Gingerbread Man Wall Story

Here is our gingerbread wall story - we had a lot of fun writing and retelling The Gingerbread Man. 

Above the last picture that says "We ate him!"  I had a picture with snapshots of my kinders decorating and eating their gingerbread cookie.

Love Interactive Writing

Here is a picture of our latest wall stories.  The top one is our Thanksgiving Story and the bottom one is "How to Make a Scarecrow"

Latest Wall Story

Here is our latest wall story that we wrote together about the life cycle of a pumpkin.  We completed this wall story just a few days prior to our field trip to the pumpkin patch!

You can see our next wall story that we are working on "How to Build a Scarecrow" 

Wall Stories

Here are pictures of our first wall stories!  The kiddos are learning so much about sounds, letters, and writing during our interactive writing time!  I am so proud of their work.

Numbers Around Our Room:

Retelling of Brown Bear Brown Bear:

 We have been practicing for a few weeks now on how to use our stories during workstation time for read the room.

Wall Stories - Great for Retell!

Every month my class creates two "wall stories".  We "retell" a story that I have read to them and use the interactive writing process to complete a page or two everyday (this process can take up to 1 or 2 weeks depending on the length of the story).  Once the page is written I choose an illustrator to draw an illustration to match the text.  We then use the story for reading the room during workstations.  This school year we will start the school year by retelling Brown Bear Brown Bear and we will also make a math wall story.  Due to my small classroom I am forced to put our wall stories out in the hallway.  However, it has proven to be a great place to display our stories.  I have had several teachers pop into my classroom and tell me what a fantastic job my kinders are doing with reading the storeis out in the hall.  They are surprised at how well my kinders can read the stories AND stay on task!!  It is so much fun to see how excited they get when we are writing our stories and they can hardly wait to be chosen as the illustrator.  Please stay tuned and I will post pictures each month showing our wall stories!

Just to wet your appetite:  here are a few pictures of last year's Little Red Hen Wall Story!
