Our Bags of Words

We have some great word collectors in our class!  We read the book Max's Words where a little boy starts a word collection.  He then takes his words and begins to create stories.  This week we collected some words to use in our writing.  The students really enjoyed using words from their bags in their stories.

David and Maxwell using their words.

Here's Elias and Aubrey starting their stories.

The yellow group is hard at work with their words.

Here's the orange group writing with their words.

The red group was also excited to get started.

We had some great stories from my awesome writers.  Here are a few of the stories.

Braiden's said, "My mom drove me to my game.  I made a touchdown!"

Here is Victoria's story.  It said: "The first time I saw a good dog starting to have fun, the dog saw the moon.  He howled.  It was so loud I said stop.  He did stop." 

Lynli's said, "We are funny all day at my house."

Mary-Caroline wrote: "One day when my sister was walking down the stairs, my mom knew she was going to fall and she did."

Trevor used words in his bag to write about some friends from K5.  His said, "One day, I saw twins.  They were in my class.  One's name was Luke and the other boy's name was Joey.  We loved running together."

Emily used some of her words to write about Fall for Greenville.  Her story said, "When I went to Fall for Greenville, I saw somebody from Sprint and if you talk to her you get a goodie bag with finger puppets in it."

All the students worked really hard on their writing.  Thanks for helping them find some great words for our activity.
