That's what I asked myself around 8:15 a.m. this morning...
Our writing block is first thing in the morning. I found this adorable writing idea on Pinterest...
And I knew I needed to adapt it to second grade! It goes perfectly with common core opinion writing!!!
I was super excited because I knew my kiddos would be so excited and super engaged with this prompt: In your opinion, which Hershey kiss is the best?
Apparently, though, I didn't think it through when I gave my 23 second graders (who are beginning to suffer from a bad case of Spring fever anyways) four, yes four, Hershey kisses at 8 o'clock in the morning....
We had to taste test them all to get our honest opinion...(I'll know better next time!!!)
At 8am people. Seriously, what was I thinking???? They were bouncing. Off. The. Walls.
If only you could see the excitement and anticipation in their eyes...oh boy.
Once I threatened them managed to get them settled down, they did some really great writing.
In my "Notes for next year", I wrote, DO THIS LESSON IN THE AFTERNOON...Preferably 10 minutes before dismissal!!!
Thanks to Johanna
for the adorable (and very exciting) writing idea! :)
How was your Wednesday!!!???
