Day Two – Tuesday – Focus on Writing
I am going to pretend a leprechaun visited the classroom the night before and left the message displayed on the left. We will discuss how he may have escaped the traps, what his name is and how he looks (describing words). In the link to the left you can access the message and writing booklet I am going to use. Since I teach grade one this year, I will expect my students to give the leprechaun a name, describe how the leprechaun looks (from the picture) and write about what they think the surprise will be tomorrow (story beginning). With kindergarten students, I would only expect them to write about what surprise the leprechaun will leave.
