During our Daily 5 instruction time, the kids get to work on writing. LOTS of writing, and they love it!
These are just a few of the empty books I created. They need filling! The kids also have ideas about books, of their own, so they have been leaving me post-it notes with ideas for more books! They are being very creative with the books.
Since Halloween is almost here, I added some writing prompts related to the holiday, and popped them into this cute Jack-o-lantern. I have promised the kids new prompts and new festive containers each month.
These are just a few of the ideas the kids can write about. We brainstormed the ideas together, and I wrote them down. When they think of new ideas, they add their own post-it notes to the pumpkin (minus the sticky-they've been trained to cut that part off). They are having a blast with it. The more the kids write, the better their spelling, vocabulary and sentences develop! It's a win win situation.
