Fall Leaves

Writing

      Personal Narratives are stories we write about our own experiences. It is personal writing that covers an event in the writer's life; it often contains personal comments and ideas, as well as, a description of the event.

CCSS W.2.3. Write narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.

 In September, the students were presented with this prompt... 

"Brainstorm about a time when you had fun playing or working in the fall leaves."

Then we ventured outside where each student collected leaves from the courtyard. When we got back to the classroom, Ms. Conroy passed out crayons to each table. The students had to break the crayons (Boy, were the students surprised about that!) and peel the paper off. Then we put all the leaves in the center of the table to share and make leaf rubbings.

The students were very excited and made beautiful color combinations.

                                          

                                   

                                                 The final results were beautiful! 

                                                     Then we added the writing.
