The title caught my attention right away because it got me excited about teaching writing. If I don't have a positive attitude then how can I expect my students to. This site offers some silly and serious prompts that get students thinking and active in the writing process. This is a great resource for first grade.

I was intregued by a blog that listed "silliness" also. It caused me to look and follow it. Because so often I as an adult am too serious, but students are drawn to silliness and fun. It makes their day to laugh about the silly art teacher, me!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of having fun while writing both for you and your students. Most of the school day is very serious but being silly might be the highlight of the student's day providing an opportunity for some great writing.
ReplyDeleteI agree. They may be more motivated to write if the writing is fun, and allows for silliness. I straight, adult-style writing lesson my be way less fun or interesting to them. Often as an art teacher, I can integrate lessons with fractions, math, writing, etc. that look and feel different even if the students are using the same ideas. Can you tell I love teaching art? I'm glad you discovered silliness for writing.
DeleteI love Pinterest and was immediately drawn to this blog. This board has lots of information that I will definitely be using in my class. The Reading, Writing Its fun, I thought was not working at first, but after I clicked on the title, it popped up. Very informational!
