Writing from the map: Describing the Raptor
I always try to make "fancy" writing paper for my students to make writing a bit more fun. We have practiced drawing our National Bird on wipe-off boards and trust me when I tell you they do a better job than the teacher. They love this part of the unit and everyone is into our new word, RAPTOR. Notice that I am providing more lines for the children who can handle this.

Thanks for the freebie Fran! I also love fun writing paper, it does seem to make a difference in some students writing. I love that the littlest things can make such a huge difference with Kindergarteners. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran! Your creativity is appreciated! Looking forward to using this paper.

Fran, I am not sure what kind of moment I just had...an OMG moment, a DUH moment or an Ahh-ha moment. Practice drawing on white boards...that's brilliant! Thanks for feeding my Kinder brain!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and thought you might enjoy this eagle research project done with kindergartners from my blog, The Digital Scoop.
