Things That Made Me Smile
I read a blog post today that gave some great ideas for activities in writer's notebooks. Since we are really just getting a start on ours, I thought we would try some of these this week. I apologize I'm not linking to the post. I found it on Twitter at home this morning, but when I come to school and the link is blocked by our AEA's firewall. Grrrrrrr. But that's another blog post. Here's what we added to our notebooks today: THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS SUMMER 1. Chloe swimming in the lake for the first time. Like a kid, she dipped her toes in the water, testing it out. Then a wave came at her and she decided it needed to be attacked. Chloe spent several minutes trying to catch the waves and eat them. Slowly she started walking out and then finally swam. When she got out of the water, she shook off and then ran around in circles like crazy. 2. The grandkids swimming on the 4th. Grandma's lake rule: You have to eat breakfast before you go outside
