Descriptive Writing

We have been using our senses to make our writing more descriptive.  We built on our knowledge of senses from Kindergarten to revise our writing and add details about what we can see, touch, taste, smell, and hear.  Here is a glimpse of our descriptive partner writing about the weather:

"A Sunny Day"

 

We hear some birds.  Chirp!  Chirp!  We see the blue sky.  We smell the flowers.  We Feel the Trees.

 

"A Sunny Day"

 

The wind is cold.  We can see the sun.  We can hear the birds.  We can smell the fresh morning air. 

  

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about and using adjectives. Our first graders know that adjectives are describing words.  This week we brainstormed as many adjectives as we could think of to describe the inside and outside of the pumpkin. 

  

We especially loved feeling the inside of the pumpkin which allowed for some very creative adjectives!

 

 

Have a safe and fun Halloween!
