We started the day in first grade reading a little story about St. Patrick's Day. It was a quick little easy reader about shamrocks and good luck. I had paper shamrocks for the students to wear for some good luck, and I asked them to finish writing this sentence:
"I am one lucky kid because..."
Now, I chose to model that I was lucky because I had a bowl of cheerios with bananas for breakfast. They helped me spell breakfast and wondered why that made me lucky. I told them it was because we had beautiful, yellow bananas at my house (woo hoo!).
Then the kiddos jumped into writing. I had many lucky video game, toy and American Girl owners. One girl has a new puppy. A few wrote about birthday parties. My favorite paper, by far, was G's:
"I am one lucky kid because I have whipt crem and butr."
Then she drew a fridge.
I like your thinking, G.
Me too!!! I like her thinking too! I adore this little writing prompt! I am one lucky kid because I get to read these little snippets of your classroom life! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to need to talk with G. tomorrow!
