December Workbook Cover

LITERATURE shared here for December is the story How To Catch Santa.

Lesson plans ARE included.

Each of the 4 lessons begin with grammar practice they are asked to embed in their writing.

This one focuses on ADJECTIVES.

There are two practice pages for each grammar lesson.

Next the story is read.

Following the reading there is discussion and differentiated pre writes for students to gather their thoughts.

I like to do one as a whole group first before sending them off to do their own.

All of these suggestions are included in the lesson plans.

Once their thoughts are gathered students complete a "first write".

Again there are leveled pages depending where your students are.

Editing is included.

There is a student edit and then a teacher edit.

After the student edit I collect papers and later that day or night correct them for my teacher edit.

Those who need continued support I meet with them the next day for help.

I DO BELIEVE IN STUDENTS CORRECTING AND CHANGING THEIR MISTAKES!

Now it is time for students to re write and create a "showcase" product.

Each lesson takes about one week.
