We are using the post-its today for writing.  We already use post-its daily for reading, so the students are used to post-its being a learning tool.  The children like using post-its, but I have a problem with them sticking them to the table, to their bodies, to their clothes, etc. and they lost their stickiness.  Maybe if I buy the “real” ones, they will stick longer.  I gave them all post-its and a large piece of construction paper and told them they are going to right details for their stories on the post-its,  one detail per post-it.   This is not as easy as I thought it would be for them.  They are not thinking things through.  So, we are going to back track and pull out stories they have already written and have them write down important details from those stories on the post-its and put them in order on the paper and work from there so they will get a better idea of how they can use this method for their benefit and to more easily write their stories.
