I SMOOCHED AN AMBULANCE

A favorite activity in Room 7 this week has been Wacky Web Tales.  Students have taken what they've learned about different parts of speech to help them finish these fun stories.

In their writing notebooks, students created a review page of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs to help them out. 

Here is an example that we did as a class.  Our favorite part is the part highlighted in yellow. We laughed until tears were running down our cheeks. :)

Letter from Ima Wolf

Dear Kids,
I just want to set the record straight for you. Wolves are great animals, and for reasons you may not be aware of, we wolves get a bad rap. Every time someone gets eaten or something is stolen, who gets blamed? Wolves, that's who. Wolves aren't enormous. In fact, we're quite microscopic.

I'm a wolf, and I don't steal! I give things away. Every year, I donate Greeks to the Franklin Retirement Home. And I've never punched anyone in my life. All I do is run merrily through the forest. Of course, once in a while, I like to smooch an ambulance. You can't blame me for wanting to have some fun! And, as for eating anyone, that's a fairy tale. All I ever eat are hot wings.

I know how the rumors got started. This kid, I think her name is Little blue callinghood, started saying terrible things about me. Fantastic! She even accused me of threading her grandmother. That's a lie! Her grandmother is too neon for me. And as I said, I don't eat people!

If you ever hear Little blue callinghood, or anyone else for that matter, saying something weak about wolves, please defend me. I need all the help I can get.

Your friend,
Ima Wolf

Students also created their own wacky tale and used suggestions from a partner to complete their story.
