First Grade, Writing, Set Three

• K. started a Shape Book (Games for Writing pg 160) this week. She chose the shape of a fish.

• We started making a Board Game (Games for Writing pg 174). We got the board done. Next week we will start on the playing cards. It is a game about the rain forest (which we are learning about in science).

• Now we have started writing the game cards for our rain forest game. I pulled out the books we have already read, and we looked through them for ideas. Then we had to figure out how to word them. Some we made a question, others were statements with a "True or False" choice. Then we determined how many spaces that card was worth.

• We are continuing to make more cards each week for our board game.
