Writing
For writing on Thursday, my students just couldn't seem to muster up a topic. Yes, we have worked on writing all year and we are tired. What could be motivation for writing today???Reflecting on schema and what they knew, it hit me! One of my students lost her first front tooth. (She is now known as snag). What better schema so off to writing , drawing pics, labeling we go! They are all on different levels so writing for each child is different so I got out all of my writing hats and switched as needed from writing a story to only drawing a picture and labeling. They all made connections and had fun with Snag during writing time as well.
You're almost as brilliant as they are, you know.
