Story Time

In this picture, I am reading a story called "The Mouse Before Christmas", and the children are listening for strong adjectives and verbs, similes, and personification.  Later, they were challenged to use the same kinds of words in their own writing.  They wrote about all kinds of things with the best descriptions ever! I am a proud teacher with so many talented writers in my class!
