When your state wins the Super Bowl, it’s hard not to take some time to run with it the next day! I wanted to use the moment to do a writing lesson with my kids that was outside the box. As often as I can I like to tell my kids that, “Some days our learning it just too big for the classroom!” They know this means we are going to bring out lessons somewhere else in the building. So today we headed to the gym to review our transitional words, burn some energy, and work on a new writing piece.

You are the cutest!!! What a fun lesson! So easy but such a huge impact!
What a fun, relevant way to teach how to writing!!Love this integrating pop culture and current events into the classroom in a meaningful way. Great post, Stephanie!!
This is the first year with the Wit and Wisdom reading curriculum. Module 2 is on Creature Features. Our first graders will be writing informative paragraphs. I found the Sea Turtles Download on TeachersPayTeachers. Love it.
