Writer's Workshop Mini-Lesson: Illustrating our Writing

(Don't laugh at my artwork!)

The picture started out with "me" and my "dog" as stick figures, the pencil sketch. I added a few colors, the students helped me label "Me" and "Molly", and they came up with the details to add to the picture. The final drawing looked much better than what we started with. Just like their pictures did! 

 

 

 Working on Writing. This week's topic was Sunshine and Lightning Moments. Sunshine Moments are those that make us happy and we enjoy. Lightning Moments are things we dislike, and maybe even scare us. These little friends had some interesting dislikes...

 

 

I had to tease my little friend about his Sunshine Moment. I have nothing against the Texas Longhorns, but I like to pretend I do when it comes to messing with my kiddos.

 

 This little dude had a hard time thinking of Lightning Moments... If only life were that great. His mom helped add a few things to it in the end: Chili, homework, making his bed, brother's baseball practice in the heat.
