Alright, so the entire class isn't done, but half of them are! The other half... most are almost done. So I thought I would post about it! We read the book (remember? Squirrel's New Year's Resolution) We talked about what resolutions were. Then we brainstormed what we did well in 2011 and some things we would like to do better on in 2012. They used this organizer to help them with each paragraph:
This is what I gave them to write on:
The next step with this organizer will be to have more yellow and red sentences in a paragraph, but starting with just one is OK with me!
After they were done with their final draft, we pasted it onto black construction paper and dazzled it up a bit.
We have sparkly New Year's resolutions!
I think they did great. Don't you?
What a cute little story! So sweet.
