Hello bloggy friends!
Please head over to my NEW blog and follow me over there. This blog will no longer be updated or checked for comments!
Another fun, fabulous, and super-d-duper cute writing activity!!! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the book “The Important Book” by Margaret Wise Brown. It has such a pattern in it and is great to use for teaching the trait Organization.
My kiddos are preparing for our district writing assessment
this week and we have been talking a LOT about good beginnings and
endings. They knew about the details in
the middle that they needed to add, but I thought this lesson would be PERFECT
to focus on those a review of those details!
Another GREAT thing about this book is that you can tailor
it to fit ANY of the curricular areas that you want. I had intended to use this book at the
beginning of the year for them to write about themselves, but now that we are
at the end of the year, I think it would be an awesome way to review facts they
have learned about their insects (Yes, I have live mealworms in my classroom
right now…they are
sooooo cute!)
So, take a peek at my lesson and tell me what you
think! We are going to be publishing
these later this week in the lab and I will try to get up a sample soon to show
you!
