Happy Saturday!! I have a fun little writing lesson and activity to share with you that we did a few weeks ago. This lesson was definitely a favorite among the first graders because it involved eating some of these...
We started out by eating an Oreo and then telling a neighbor how we ate it. We then viewed this YouTube video of a retro Oreo commercial:
We made a chart for how the little boy ate the Oreo and then we were ready to write one about ourselves (after eating another Oreo, of course!). Here are some work samples:
The winners are:

DeleteSo cute and Oreos are my favorite! I bought a package the other day and took them to school to share them with my kiddos so I wouldn't eat them all by myself! This gives me a perfect excuse to go buy some more!
