Super Sentences

This week, we have started to take our sentences more seriously! We are learning strategies to create detailed and descriptive sentences. This week, EVERYONE was excited to write about their Thanksgiving Feast's! We have been training ourselves to find the 5W's in one another's sentences.  Take a look at the ANCHOR CHART we created together. It will be posted in our classroom as a helper for ALL.

We use the words 'BUMP IT UP' a lot while we are learning. It is a gentle and positive way to ask students to improve the quality of their work. We all learn from our mistakes, and 'bumping it up' allows each student to try and figure out how to improve upon their work. Below is a picture of me modelling a 'BUMP UP'.

If this picture is confusing to you, your child should be very happy to explain it to you.
