What a way to incorporate ELA, Math and Kindness during this Valentine Season! Lee Silverman and Rayna Ciano integrated descriptive writing and math concepts as they had their third graders create a short story for the Veteran's at the Rhode Island Veterans Home in Bristol.
In Rayna's words:
"I created the story and asked the class to help me include descriptive language so I left blank spaces where I asked for adjectives, similes and metaphors, onomatopoeia, and vivid verbs. Then I asked when and where we needed commas. I also asked for when and where we should create new paragraphs. The math concepts we included in this document are those that we have covered in class, and concepts reviewed during our RICAS released items practice. I am delivering to Veteran's Home on Valentine's Day."
Take a look at the complete story below. It encompasses all of the elements of descriptive, engaging writing and seamlessly connects the math concepts of area and perimeter! Well done 3rd graders!!!
