Writing Activity

Today's question of the day really interested the kids, so we decided to do a writing activity. The question was "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and went along with our weekly story Ruby in Her Own Time. We made an older version of ourselves to go along with the writing activity.






We also made little Ruby ducks to add to our board:


We finished our SWBC chart that helps us with helping the plot of a story. We used favorite read alouds like Aliens Love Underpants and Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. They loved doing this.


If you want the people pattern or the duck pattern, let me know and I'll post them! :)

    Hi Leslie Ann,

    I absolutely LOVE your blog. This is TOO CUTE! I especially adore your great anchor charts. You are full of great ideas.

    I can't wait to do something like this in Social Studies.

    Thanks so much! You're the best, darlin!
