“Show, Not Tell”

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

Mrs. McGinnis’ students used their superb acting skills to get their classmates to guess a sentence they were given. Students wrote down evidence of what they saw and then made predictions. We related this to how authors “show, not tell” in their writing! Ever since, our class has been working hard on writing detailed descriptions in our stories!

Shape Hunting in Kindergarten

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

Kindergarten is having so much fun this week! We have been hunting for shapes in our school and on our playgrounds. We are working so hard to learn how to write with the correct pencil grip and create vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. We enjoy making playdough shapes and listening to nursery rhymes that help us with our rhyming. What a great time to be a little falcon!

Fifth Graders Engaged in Language Arts

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

During language arts we have been learning about theme, tone, and much more. Students were able to interview characters from a personal narrative we read in class about the theme and lessons that those characters learned. They also worked together to write a paragraph in a certain tone. They then acted out a skit of their paragraph while their classmates tried to guess the tone their paragraph was written in.
