Descriptive Paragraphs






Our class has been working hard on descriptive writing. We work each day on the Smartboard as a group to develop our writing skills. We have been taking well known poems and rhymes and adding descriptive words to paint a better picture for the reader. We just completed Jack and Jill. As soon as I learn how to attach a file to the blog you will be able to see our work more clearly. For now check out some of our work pictured below.
