Writing Through the Seasons {Summer} and a BUNDLE!

April 24, 2013

Technically, it is still Spring… but the sun is blazing, my kids are squirming for Summer, and I am doing everything I can to keep them moving & working!

After days and weeks and months of learning about a topic, I begin to call my students EXPERTS! I explain to them that an expert is someone who not only knows something in and out, but can explain it to others in a way that they understand it.

I can tell you my kids are EXPERTS at explaining their thinking and they make their teacher proud!

To help them feel proud of themselves I made this cute little craft:

^This little guy makes me giggle and I think the kids will get a BIG hit out of it!^

I plan to have my students brainstorm some things they are experts at after their year in first grade and we will display them on our last bulletin board of the year!

This craft is included in my Writing Through the Seasons {Summer & End of the Year} along with a few other writing prompts and graphic organizers:
