S'More How -To Writing

To make learning to write a "how to" paragraph a little more fun, we decided to make delicious s'mores in the microwave as a group. We wrote our group how-to together on large chart paper. The students then made these adorable paper s'mores (above) and wrote their own directions on how to make them. So fun and yummy!

Christmas Stocking Fun

The students decorated Christmas stockings at home and then wrote descriptive paragraphs about them at school. A traditional lesson the kids always enjoy!

Shapely Pets!

For short e week we studied and read about pets. Since we were also studying 2 D shapes in math, we combined the two and created Shape Pets! The students then used the names of the shapes in our observational comment writing lessons for the week (Write from the Beginning) to construct descriptive sentences about their shape pet. I also placed extra shapes, paper and shape books in the shapes work station for kids to create and write about more shapely pets!
