First Grade, Writing, Set Seven

Because we are doing a lot of writing in Grammar during this set, I have planned activities that don't require much writing. All are from Games for Writing.

• How Many Words page 127 -- this continues to be a favorite game for us
• Alphabet Code page 98 -- we played this at the doctor's office
• Words By Design page 101 -- we are using the last part of the Alphabet Book I made for her in set five. I picked the word "Compass" to go along with our history.
• Traveling Words page 102 -- the sentence was "Deserts are dry places that get very little rain". I drew a desert scene with a cactus and a rock for K. to write on.
• Dotted Alphabet page 105 -- we used the word "chuck walla"
• Mixed Up and Missing page 107 -- We did about six sentences, then we took parts from those sentences and made some crazy sentences. I let K. pick one to illustrate.
• Strange Sentences page 113 -- The sentence we ended up with was "My aunt fell in a crack in his cave yesterday." K. illustrated it.
• Race of Words page 44 -- K. won by a landslide!
• Story Map page 17 -- we added a butcher shop and doughnut store to our park story map
• Catch My Silly page 13 -- I took a couple stories and made changes. Then I let K. pick a story and see if I could catch her "sillies".
• Mazes -- I printed mazes from MazestoPrint.com
