I Didn’t Do My Homework Because…

As it turns out, I have quite a collection of great books.  Often, we read a book and do some writing afterward.  This book, along with A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to School… and The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer are FANTASTIC ways to get kids excited about writing their own versions of the story.  They were so excited and eager to write.  We brainstormed and shared with one another.  We will continue to write our stories this week and even after break.  It takes a long time to get a finished product, which is something we are learned about right now.  Three cheers for creative writing!  Ask your kids about what they are writing.
