The "How To" Files



The hallway outside of our classroom has been transformed into a "How To" Information Center! The children chose their own topic for this writing project. Would you like to know how to make a mushroom and shrimp pizza, the proper way to bat a ball, or how to set up a fish tank? Then stop by sometime before or after school and check out our display. Using the writing process, the children incorporated time order transition words and effective topic and clincher sentences to carefully explain how to perform a task. The expanded paragraphs are complemented by a colorful, detailed illustration. Another job well done by the boys and girls of Room 29!
