My class got practice with perfecting possessives today with a partner writing activity.
Each student brought in a prized possession to share. I took a picture of each student and then they partnered up and wrote about another classmate's object. So fun and eye opening. One of my students brought in a very touching item, a Beads of Courage necklace for children dealing with cancer and serious illness. Can I say that was POWERFUL!

You might want to do this writing activity after the holidays with each students' favorite holiday gift.
I recently started a Facebook Group for teachers to share ideas, questions, and inspiration.
Come Join the group! (Freebie ideas and giveaways are sometimes shared there!)
Good stuff! I like teaching possessives! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Denise:
ReplyDeleteThis is why Linky Parties are so great! I missed this post the first time around and the "Beads of Courage" necklace sharing is so touching! (Don't you just love when you can SEE into kids' hearts!)
Thanks for posting this the first time--and reminding me to go back and look at it again in your "Top Three" post.
