We worked on descriptive writing in Language this week. We started our lesson by reading the book 'The Inuksuk'. We pulled out important facts and planned our ideas on an organzer.
We reviewed success criteria (see below) and completed our shared writing.
Success Criteria for Descriptive Writing
- an interesting opening sentence
– introduces the topic and grabs the audience’s attention
- the body or middle should include 3 supporting details and facts about the topic
(3 short paragraphs)
- an interesting closing sentence – it summarizes and wraps up in a strong and catchy way
** You could include pictures in your descriptive writing
Here is our final product:
Feel free to practice these skills at home with your children. The success criteria and the example provided will be a great guide.
In Math, we are beginning our unit on Geometry.
We started identifying 2 dimensional shapes.
Next, we will begin describing shapes.
For example, a triangle has three sides and
three vertices.
