Writing

The children in SBS Grades 2 and 3 have been busy at work during our Writer's Workshops this week. They have been writing and editing silly stories after studying the mentor texts, Dogs Don't Wear Sneakers by Laura Numeroff, Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin, and My Little Sister Ate One Hare by Bill Grossman. Here is a story that our class wrote together:

Cats don't do yoga. But one day Fuzzy the cat decided to give it a try. He saw a yoga mat

sitting by the window. No one was around, so Fuzzy scampered on over to it. Fuzzy brought

the mat next door to the YMCA where there was a yoga class going on. Fuzzy unrolled his mat

and joined right in. He did the "Downward Facing Dog" pose. He freaked out and ran to

his good friend Foofy's house!

in Framing Your Thoughts this week, we learned about the predicate of a sentence, and learned

how to diagram "bare bones" sentences.

We are especially proud of Dallas this week as he presented a book during Book Buzz at All School Meeting! Others were so impressed that they are busily writing their own Book Buzz submissions!
