The students were given copies of opinion paragraphs and had to find the opinion, reasons, examples, transition words, and then the re-stated opinion. They had so much fun and LOVED being able to highlight the info they needed! We are so close to being able to write our final opinion paragraphs and I can't wait to see their progress!
We just finished up our state testing, so it was time for my favorite Halloween project...
We are also working on predictions and character traits. We did lots of the activities out of my Character Traits pack.

I loved reading Woolbur and Harriet, You'll Drive me Wild! and having students write character traits and then PROVE them for Woolbur and Harriet!
If you don't know either book, click the pics below to learn more... they are GREAT books!
We just read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane {and I did not cry when I read the last page, for the first time EVER} and studied his character growth. Now we're reading The Chocolate Touch to study John Midas' character and work on our predicting skills. The predicting cards in the pic below come from my Chocolate Touch pack. The first page of each chapter has a picture that has some significance in the chapter. We're using the predicting cards to predict what might happen in the chapter!
