In our writing center this past week I used another fabulous idea shared by Mrs. Colonna (Did I mention she was teacher of the year last year). The students were told to pick five candy hearts and to write a Valentine's Day story using the candy as an inspiration and inserting the candy in the sentences where they belonged. I went through the hearts before putting them out for the students to use because some of the hearts had abbreviated spelling on them or were misspelled in that "cutesy" candy hearts way. I wanted to model correct spelling for my students. My little babies don't need help when it comes to misspelled words.
I'm pretty stellar. I know! Lol. I actually saw this on pinterest after I told you. I felt pretty stoked that I'm as creative as all those nifty and crafty teachers.
