Nature Center and Writing

This week we went out in the nature center and chose an area to draw and color a fall scene.  This week on Poetry Wednesday we are going to be writing fall poems and working on adjectives, verbs, and nouns that describe fall.  We had a lot of fun in the nature center and the fall colors were BEAUTIFUL!

In writing, we are working on personal narratives and narrowing our stories into small moments.  I shared a funny story from childhood with them and explained how it was a small moment and now they are having fun writing their small moments in class.  We are focused on getting the five senses into our writing and used Owl Moon by Jane Yolen as a model.
