Punctuation Glasses

Students use their punctuation glasses to edit their writing. We are finishing up our narrative writing and a fun way for students to look closely at their writing is by wearing some FUN colorful glasses. Here students are making sure each sentence in their stories begin with a capital letter. They did a wonderful job editing!

"Just Right" Books

We recently did a lesson on choosing "Just Right" books to read. These are books that are not too easy, not too hard, but JUST RIGHT. I had 3 student volunteers help me model this lesson. One put on a shirt that was way too little, another student wore a coat that was way too big, but the third student put on one that fit just right. This lesson teaches students to think wisely about the books that they choose to read.
