An ABC Slicing Post
Today I was able to join a 5th grade class to slice! Thanks 5SS for the invite and letting me join you today! When I walked in, Mrs. Suomi was showing some students an ABC post. Suddenly, I knew the format of my post.
Here is a slice about slicing with 5th graders in an alphabet post.
Arms length away as they write around the room
Being brave and putting their words out into the world
Crafting slices that matter to them
Dancing stretch break mid slicing (random, yet effective)
Engagement on the writing task!
Finding their voice while using flexible seating
Gazing around the room for writing inspiration
Having the a little help from #TheForce as they write (thanks to a Star Wars T-shirt)
IPad bloggers
Jotting down ideas that turn into stories and treasured memories
Knowing that their post will be read by others
Learning about their classmates in a new and authentic way
Memories and achievements captured in words on blogs
Not just writing, but commenting too!
Opening your heart and your mind to the power of daily writing
Poems written just for teachers (that made me tear up a bit, too)
Quiet whispers as kids collaborate on slices
Reading a post aloud to the class with pride and expression
Stuck on a Slice ideas on an anchor chart
Talking through ideas before drafting
Using an iPad makes writing with a broken arm easier, too!
Voice sneaking its way into writing
Writer's block becoming unblocked through peer conversations
eXtra steps before publishing to X out visible errors
You can comment on their blogs, too. Just go here.
Zoo posts? I have no idea. But I also don't have an idea for Z. :)
This is great! I love your ABC list. A great idea for any writing assignment.
