Reading and Writing Connection:If reading is writing… writing is reading… poetry is a “song” from your heart!
Remind them to open their journals to the next available page and date it. Don’t forget to have them label the top of the page with today’s learning topic/skill.
Guided Hook: “Today’s writing is a pre-Valentine’s day drafting opportunity. You will create a Haiku about friendship. This friendship is about a bear and a squirrel as they head home from a Valentine’s party. You decide their conversation, their thoughts, and how they are feeling. Remind them to name the characters once they have created a sketch to go with their Haiku.
Drafting responses: Allow each family member to write their thoughts (10 min). Encourage the youngest members to draw their thoughts and assign someone to be their scribe.
Finally: Discuss: Let each family member share their “Valentine’s Day Haiku“ creation. Remind them that respectful listeners make eye contact with the person sharing without interrupting.
