Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)
This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

32 Printable worksheets with pictures to write Adjective Paragraphs
This document contains 32 unique worksheets with a big vivid picture and lines to write a paragraph using adjectives. Each also includes directions. I put an example paragraph as the first page of the documet so you can show the kids how to do it. Sometimes it works better to model though, starting with a blank lined page and having them give you sentences to write. That way you can model how to expand it to include even more adjectives.

This paper allows students to both decode a message written using Mirror Writing and allows them to write a message of their own. This activity goes great with any lesson on Leonardo da Vinci, or can

Create A Monster Wanted Poster Creative Writing Activity
I adapted this idea from another writing activity I was given my first year of teaching. This kids absolutely loved this! I used this activity when discussing descriptive writing and adjectives. Students would create a monster that committed annoying pranks. Students would first discuss possible ideas, and I would often show clips of Monsters Inc. in order to give them some ideas of what their monsters could look like and their annoying pranks. They would first plan their wanted poster out using

Mini Bloom Ball Book Report
When I was looking to have my students create Bloom ball book reports I could not find any with the questions already in the circle. I also couldn't find any that would allow me to type my questions inside the circle. So, I decided to create my own. I thought others might be going through the same so I decided to make it available in TPT for free.
I will also be posting editable templates of the Bloom Ball at a later date.
*Editable version now available for a fee.

Introduction to Writing Hook Sentences
My third graders are learning how to make our writing more exciting this week, so I made this as an introduction. The first page is for them to do with me as a class and glue into their Writer's Notebooks. The next pages are for them to practice on their own. I wanted to focus on three types of hooks: asking a question, stating a fact, and painting a picture. There are many other types, but in the interest of not overwhelming them, I chose these three types. Enjoy!
