We thoroughly enjoyed this
project. It gave us an excellent opportunity to talk about
describing words and naming words. We are working on spicing
up our writing with words that paint pictures for the reader. This
skill is carrying over into all curriculum areas. They really
enjoyed doing the Kidspiration activity.
The children were given this
basic sentence: The snow was falling. Their assignment
was to write the sentence using descriptive words so the reader can
visualize the scene. Below is a sample of their work.
Alaina: The
sugary white snow was drifting.
De'Andre: The fluffy
white snow was falling.
Jessica: The soft and
flaky snow was drifting down so softly you could barely hear it.
Connell: The white snow
was falling gently down on the ground.
Will: The white
snow was drifting.
Drew: The crystal white
snow was floating gently.
Claire: The icy snow
was falling softly through the sky.
Jasmine: The soft white
sugary snow was gently falling down.
Grace: The flaky snow
was falling softly down to the ground gently.
Peyton: Soft, fluffy
snow that looked like crystals fell on my mouth.
Gabrielle: The white
soft snow was swirling and twirling and beautiful.
