Elephants Can Paint

We are learning the difference between fiction and non fiction books.  We are also being introduced to literary non fiction.  Today we read a book about elephants that are taught to paint.

Opinion Writing

We started our new writing topic today.... Opinion Writing 😊. After hearing the story, students had to decide if Pigeon should get a puppy.  They had to provide reasons as to why or why not.  Be sure to ask them what they decided.  Some of their opinions were strong with convincing reasons.

Mr Y Teaches Writing Workshop

We are working on writing personal narratives in writing.  First we tell our story with WOW illustrations and add labels to important parts.  Today students were asked to write about Halloween.  Mr Y shared his illustration about his Halloween night. He reminded students that they need the who, what and where in their story.
