Monstrously Amazing Writers

 Happy Sunday!

I love this time of year and all the fun bulletin boards that you can create with your students! 

My team and I recently changed the boards in our hallway to fit the month of October and we tied it into writing which made it even more fun. Our theme was based around monsters and descriptive writing. Each student got to choose from a selection of pieces to create a monster. Then they colored it any way they wanted. Once they had built and designed their monster we used a graphic organizer to write out our descriptions of the monsters. We used a spooky adjective sheet to help us make the descriptions even more fun to write. At the end of it all they wrote out their final draft on monster paper and attached their monster. We hung all the monsters and monster descriptions on our bulletin boards. They look amazing and we are so happy we did this project. You can see some examples below.

Happy Monster Writing!

Sharing Sunshine: A Pumpkin Prayer

Good Morning!

This morning I am linking up with my friends over at Hello Sunshine for the Sharing Sunshine linky. Come over and join us if you can.

I love this time of year because of all the holidays. I also love that I work at a Christian school and can do fun Bible projects. I know that most of you work in public schools and probably won't use this but I just had to share it because it always makes me smile this time of year.

Every year I have my students write the pumpkin prayer and do a project that goes along with it. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of my sample. I am on fall break this week and did not want to make the 40 minute drive to my classroom for one picture. Sorry! This will also be the first time I have shared it with anyone. I used fall break to actually put all the pieces in one file. I do have the pics from my freebie so that you can get an idea of what I do.

It's a fun activity for my firsties and it looks great up on the wall with their little kid handwriting. If you want a copy it's a freebie in my store. The link is at the end of the post.
