"Okay, so also not to long ago I saw on Blog Hoppin' a teacher did a project for younger kids called turkey in disguise (sorry I don't remember the teacher, but she is so smart). So we decided since I saw it too late, to do Gingerbread men in disguise for our Christmas writing prompt. The students are currently working on stories about how they woke up and they found a gingerbread man running for his life and asking for help. In their story they must tell about how they disguised him, what they disguised him as, and how they helped him escape certain peril. They are having such a good time, they begged for extra writing time today. Anyway here are some of the gingerbread men in disguise, these are not all from my class. Our whole fourth grade is doing this project. aren't they adorable, these are just a few. There were way too many to choose from. Hopefully when they are done with the writing piece I can post some of those. I hope you all have an amazing last week before break, and as always thanks for reading! Mrs. B"

Resource for reading and writing lessons - some free resources, some to pay for.

Wonder what it would take to set this up - since our last lesson included e-mail. Could they e-mail each other through their google accounts and write to the person about what they learned....

Scott Davidson (Ryan Landis' student teacher sent me this link - looks like a lot of resources for short stories, lengthier reading. fluency, writing, puzzles, etc.

Great lessons on story elements including a picture book, resources, and guided notes for each element. There is also a link on here to an online story mapping activities that can have info added by students and then printed out.
