Also included in this set is sentence practice. At this time of the school year many of our students are writing several sentences independently. This paper has pictures of seven different insects and lines next to them where they can write sentences. We encouraged our students to write what they wanted to write about each insect. It could be a fact, something they know about the insects or they could write a little story. Below are some examples of what our students did. The first one shows what one child thought about ants. I think he is right...some people do not like ants. Maybe it's because they come in our house and crawl over our food.
This child decided on a story. Before this activity we read a non-fiction book about the life cycle of a butterfly. In it we learned that sometimes when the caterpillar hatches out of his egg he will eat the egg because he is hungry!
We decide to include everyone's favorite insect, a stink bug! Do you like stinky things? Well, according to this child if you step on a stink bug it will stink. So, if we don't want to smell it we better not step on it.
We had so much fun reading what the children wrote. Sometimes they say some of the cutest and funniest things. Please check out this pack of insect themed writing papers here:
