"If I worked at a circus..."

So this week, we kind of had a circus theme going on. Monday was circus day and they were fed the circus animal crackers, Wednesday’s writing homework was to write anything about a circus, and Mrs. Skalaban read them circus related books this week.

I have been picking up some ELA assignments to help Mrs. Skalaban since we have been having events that interfere in our afternoon block. I want my kids to do all the reading and writing as possible because they really need it. So I did this writing activity with them…”If I worked at a circus, I would…” I showed them a short clip of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus because so many of them have not been to a circus before.

 

Look at how CUTE their pictures are! All these were quiet independent writing. Comparing writing samples from the beginning of the year with writing samples from now makes me so happy to see the comparison of how far they have come.
