Weekly, my students and I write to our parents to share highlights of our week. Because this is just a 2-day school week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, I had them add a move I used to have my kindergarten students do - make a Turkey using the outline of our hand!!
On one side of the letter to the parents is the student turkey with their list of four things written across their finger/feathers and on the reverse side is my turkey. (see images above!)
I should also add that I am MOST thankful for the TwoWritingTeachers blog! It provides me with a space to make my writing public on their amazing blog that also inspires me as a writing teacher daily. And I am thankful for all the blog writers (most I only know virtually). You also inspire and keep me going!
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Keep Writing!
Sally
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those hand-turkeys with us!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're part of our writing community, Sally! Happy Thanksgiving.
I also very thankful for Two Writing Teachers. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteTWT has been a such a positive influence in my writing life, my teaching life, and my personal life. The connections are amazing, even more so when I get to meet some of them face to face. My daughter said the other day after reading a comment...they act like they know you. I laughed and said, they do!
