Students in 3B been working really hard on building their understanding of the trait of "ideas" in writing! This involves finding the right topic, narrowing it down but not too small of a topic, selecting interesting, relevant details, and making the writing clear by using "show me" statements instead of just telling. Today we learned a song to help us remember the ideas trait (it's fun to sing matter how old you are) so I thought I would share it with you.
The Ideas Song(to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
Make your ideas clear.
Tell the reader what you know
And what you hold most dear.
Your 3B child will be coming home soon asking you to listen to him or her sing the song to you. Have some fun with it, sing along, take turns, etc, Have fun!
