Gift Writing

Anonymous — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 02:26:00 GMT

My students completed our Gifts of Giving Writing this week.

Their ideas were cute and thoughtful.

"First of all, without moms in my life it would be an awful time because they make your day bright."

This student thought that, "... fire is a good thing because we need it to light up a candle

so we can celebrate birthdays."

I'm having a sale in my TPT store to kick start the holidays...so Merry Everything to my blog followers!

My students are very vocal and energetic this year. Many are hands-on learners as well, and they love activities where they can get out of their seats. Rather than fight this, I’ve been trying to embrace it and to draw on those strengths and learning preferences. Well, Christmas is quickly approaching and you know what that means! [...]

My Teacher in a Snow Globe

Anonymous — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:53:00 GMT

I mentioned in my Snow Globe project post that a previous student put ME into her snow globe and wrote the cutest story ever. I pulled it out of my FOREVER file to share with you!

The story adds even more cuteness:

It was a day before Christmas and Ms. Talbott was sleeping with a snoring cat beside her. Then, within a step from the cat, there was a tricky mouse. Suddenly, the cat woke up and the cat started to chase the mouse all around the Christmas tree. To escape, the mouse ran up the tree. Then the cat knocked the Christmas tree over! As the tree fell, a snow globe ornament fell on Ms. Talbott's head. She woke up and the water from the snow globe made Ms. Talbott shrink. Of course, Ms. Talbott was horrified when she shrank. She was as tiny as her cat, Mr. Wiskers. Mr. Wiskers started to chase Ms. Tiny Talbott.

Then Ms. Talbott yelled, "Help, help, I need help." After a little while a cricket heard and said,

"Do not fear, Mr. Cricket is here." The cricket said to Ms. Talbott, "You should go inside the snow globe." She replied, "In the snow globe?" and the cricket said, "Yes!" So, Ms. Talbott ran inside the snow globe. While she was in the snow globe she realized it was cold, but she felt safe. So my teacher was happy inside her snow globe especially when we would pick up the globe and shake it around.

Writers Work Station

Anonymous — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:29:00 GMT

There is no better way to get your preschool childrenwriting than setting up a writers work station. Providing writing opportunities with children everyday will givechildren the experience to move through the writing stages with ease.

Providing mini lessons on writing topics through a sharedwriting experience will be the most effective method in guiding children towardwriting on a specific topic.

Have a writing word wall were children are able tophysically go and get words to write, will empower them to write their ownwords to their story.

To help with your writing work station you can go toTeachers Pay Teachers Teachers Pay Teachers or Teachers Notebook and get the December Writers Work Station Packet.

It's Snow Globe Time

Anonymous — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 16:15:00 GMT

I know I mentioned that my No Cost Gift writing was a favorite of the season, but my Snow Globe project is on the top of my list too. I have my students do this as a take home project, but you can also complete it in class. Students create a character inside their snow globe and then write a story about how the character came to be inside it. The stories always turn out fabulous! My favorite story was one titled, "My Teacher, Ms. Talbott, in the Snow Globe". I've saved that one in my FOREVER file. I'll have to dig it out and post it for you...it's adorable I must say.
