Celebration Time! Come on! Let's Celebrate!

In order to celebrate the ending of our Personal Narrative Writing Unit we had a celebration with Ms. Fuller's class. The kids got into groups and shared their writing. They were so proud of themselves!  I was SO impressed with ALL of their published copies! They applied so much of what they learned!  We will be moving onto creating "How To" pieces! I will model my "How To" piece on Monday.  "How To Pop Your Ear"!  The kids can't wait!

Gerald and Piggie stories by Mo Williems

Our preschool buddies came to our class this week! The students had a blast assisting their buddy and creating the characters from the story they read together. The second graders were in charge of completing a Story Elements booklet while their buddy worked on the illustrations.  

I loved watching the class work with the little ones.  I definitely see some future teachers! Having buddies provides the kiddos with the opportunity to work on being patient, kind, and cooperative. 

They were excellent role models and were all able to clip up after the activity was complete!  I was very proud of them!
