On January 28th, Ralph Fletcher shares his writing experiences with our students. Listen to his picture book, Twilight Comes Twice. He uses amazing, vivid, free-verse text to describe the transition from day to night and from night to day. He makes these every day moments magical.
Select your favorite part of the day or year and make it magical. Write one or two sentences on this post to create a vivid image for others. Have your classmates try to name the moment you are describing.
My favorite part of the year 2013 was getting student of the month. It was awesome!
My favorite part of the day was when we went to the gym for the student of the month and word of the month assembly.
Thanks for sharing, Ryan and Tate. Don't forget to describe that magical moment (think showing not telling). Guess my favorite moment from last week:
I sat closely with my students mesmerized by the sounds of all the instuments coming together in perfect harmony. Without realizing it, my body was moving in time with the beat. I felt self-conscious at first, but when I looked around, I saw a whole gymnasium of people as moved as me.
Try to guess my favorite part of the day…
Clues: Bumpy, tired, noisy, friends and fun!
I think Mrs. Barsanti's favorite moment was when we had the concert in the gym.
You got it!!
My favorite part of the day is when we played birthday line up in gym and we won because we were silent and got less strikes.
My favorite momment is at the beging of the year and seeing all new faces.

putting led on a paper and doing it freely.
