Creative Displays for Writing

I thought I would share some great displays that showcase student writing!  The one above uses the book, The Sandman by Ralph Fletcher. What a great way to write about dreams and display them for others to enjoy!

This is a great idea for the beginning of school!  Children can introduce themselves and proudly display their pictures!

Do you have a Hollywood theme?  This is a cute way of showcasing writing all year long!

Love this jungle-themed display!

These guys are on a Safari to find the most interesting writing!

This just makes me smile!

Flip books are everywhere!

I love this one!  This shows a great deal of learning!

Using the school mascot!

Springtime display!  

I hope you enjoyed these great ideas!  I wish that I could give credit, but I just can't remember the school!  If you find these and recognize them, let me know!

                                                   

Teaching Similes

I wanted to show you this great bulletin board and teaching idea!  This activity was part of a PLC that I am doing with K-2 teachers.  We read the book Fireflies, by Julie Brinckloe.  The teachers were asked to write a quick memory that was inspired by the book.  We added a simile to the quick write using examples in Fireflies.  This experience allowed us to showcase teacher writing, and provide a tool that teachers could use to teach similies.  Teachers were given the writing collection to use with students.  Thank you Mrs. Madden for the artwork!
