We have been working on story elements in class for the past week or so. We will continue this coming week as well. Next week is our Curriculum Fair, so I have been trying to turn most of our activities into craftivities so that our room looks great for parents next week. Here are some of the things we have done. You can get it HERE from Teacher Pay Teachers!

Poetry and Main Idea
This super cute craftivity came from Amy Lemmons' What's The Main Idea unit on TPT.
Now on to Poetry! Poetry Month is in full swing in our classroom. We began by working on Acrostic Poems. Here is a sample of some awesome work.
Some of the kids had some tricky letters in their names. So we busted out those dictionaries for help!
We also delved into similes and made these Simile Namebows. I got this idea from Hope King at Second Grade Shenanigans.
This little guy had some of my favorite similies. I'm as quiet as a statue. I'm as short as a penguin.

Anchor Charts

No, I cannot take credit for the content. They are a mix of things that I found on Pinterest over the last 2 years.
