Working Hard!!

Parts of a Story
We recently completed a Leo Lionni author study. We worked in small groups to compete the matrix shown below. This was a review of the story elements we've been studying all year. Each day we read a Leo Lionni book and groups were assigned a specific part of a story to draw and write about. Each day the group had to work on a different story element. Below is a close up of the work each group did on the book Swimmy.


The main character is Swimmy. (Talia, Carley, Audrie, John Robert, and Marshall)


The setting is the ocean. (Logan, Harly, Bryson, Melanie)




The tuna fish ate the red fish. (Landis, Makayla, Jarred, Ashton, Delayne)
OOPS! I forgot to take a picture of the solution.


The tuna fish swam away. (Alanna, Tori, Shelby, Gabe)




Ground Hog Day Predictions

Below is some of the writing we did about Groundhog Day.






We have been sooooo impressed with the quality of writing our students are doing. Thanks for your help at home. They are excited about using their Picture Dictionaries.
