My kiddos are doing this activity today, so no pictures yet, but it’s pretty self-explanatory. Grab it for a last minute activity idea this week if you need one! 🙂
I also told you about the Grinch Song activity I do with my kids last week- here are some pictures of the “taking it literally” figurative language:

And of course, I LOVE reading The Polar Express. We are actually having a “Polar Express Winter Party” on Friday, so we are doing a lot with The Polar Express this week. My Mentor Sentence for the week comes from the book (of course) and there is also an activity in my Language Arts Interactive Notebook for similes from the book!

I also found this little gem a couple weeks ago:
Which is PERFECT because we are working on Opinion Writing right now! Some of my favorite reasons of theirs so far are: “I do all my chores… I get all A’s… I was nice to my brother…” But my favorite of all is: “Who could resist this face?!” Ha!!!!!

PS: Workshop Wednesday will be going on Winter Break, too! It’ll be back in January! 🙂
