Speaking...For the LOVE of Writing
Speaking...For the LOVE of Writing
Most of my students have favourite stuffed animals. I figured they would have a wonderful time pretending to BE one of their stuffies! I asked them to let me take a photo (which means that through Zoom, some of the photos are not the BEST quality) and then had them write a "script" of what they would say.
Have a look and listen! You will hear the excitement in their voices!

Teaming Up To Ask Silly Questions
As part of our reading activities, we have been using "Would You Rather" questions. The kids have enjoyed them so much that I have convinced them to write their own questions! Have a look through the book and send me a message if you would like to add your own WYR question to our collection!

This student made INCREDIBLE gains in her reading when we decided to create a "video" book for Kindergarten students. She had shown an interest in snakes, yet wasn't overly motivated to read about them. When I asked her to help me make a video to share with REAL students, she rose to the challenge!
