Here is a picture of one of my kiddo's "My Body" story with the craftivity. 

It is a little hard to see here, but I copied a skeleton on black construction paper. Then the kids colored the skeleton with a white coloring pencil and I cut them out. They are SOOOO cute! This picture really doesn't do them justice...but trust me...C.U.T.E!!! So, that is it for now folks-I will be back soon with Common Core Writing Unit Quarter 2! See ya soo!

What We Did Last Week! and Update on Common Core Writing Unit Quarter 2

What did we do last week you ask...well let me show you! We made the cutest firefighters from Kim Adsit's Fire FIghter unit . Then we read LOTS of books about firefighters and shared all the information we learned with each other. After, we began the writing process using a circle map, tree map, and then finally transferring our stories to our final paper. Have a look below to see how cute they turned out below...

If you would like to do this fun project and writing with your kiddos, click HERE and grab a FREE circle map, tree map, and paper to write about firefighters.

And...I am working on creating a Common Core Writing Second Quarter, the follow-up unit from Common Core Writing First Quarter.  Look for it by the end of the week!

This unit will include writing topics such as Scarecrows, Indian Corn, Leaf Man, Owls, Turkeys, Winter, Hot Chocolate, Snowmen, My Elf, and more! More than enough material and activities to take care of your planning needs and your first graders writing needs for the entire second quarter!

Coming Soon!!!! 

They Call Me A Fireman...That's My Name! Writing Freebie!

I was just checking out Kim Adsit's newest Common Core math and literacy unit and it has the CUTEST firefighter glyph. Click HERE to have a look at her cute unit. I can't wait to do her Firefighter glyph...This little cutie inspired me to put together a writing activity to go with it. I am going to invite a firefighter into my classroom to discuss his job and share some of his tools with my kiddos. Below is my writing maps I use with my firsties to organize their ideas. Have a look...if you like how I have organized the maps and the process I have used to teach writing then you will LOVE my writing unit for first quarter. In this unit each lesson is described in detail how to present and teach writing using these maps. Click on the picture below to grab a copy at my store.
