Centers

This month we have been studying verbs and argument/opinion writing. Now, we are getting ready to introduce informational writing. To practice these concepts, students participated in some fun activities. They read and researched their choice of animals while completing a "3-2-1" graphic organizer (3 things they learned, 2 interesting facts, and 1 question they have). Simultaneously, a group met with the teacher to play action verb Scattegories (students are given a letter and 3 minutes to list as many axion verbs as possible).

This I Believe...


Our students hav been working on opinion pieces in writing. Recently, they created their "I Believe" lists based on their personal beliefs and opinions. We were blown away by how thoughtful and inspiring their lists were.
