Exceptional Excerpts

Last week we created a character to focus on with our new unit of writing.  Each child described their character and now have written a couple of stories about their character.  From those pieces, there were some great examples of descriptive writing.  We have been working on including showing details, instead of telling.  Here are some of the great examples we had this week:

"Her face was as red as a tomato."
-Gabi

"He took off as fast as a cheetah."
-Owen

"Asha felt like she had just found gold."
-Ava

"Joe marched into the kitchen.  He got some bread.  Hmm..."
-Demetri

"Maria started to breath heavy and broke a sweat."
-Samantha
