Please No Glitter

Theme is ALWAYS so difficult for my 4th-graders to understand. Yet, it is SO IMPORTANT for them to have a firm grasp of theme and thematic concepts as they work to comprehend fictional texts.

Billy The Bashful Bat's Writing Checklist

David Olsen

A hands on, cross curricular writing checklist. This worksheet gives young writers a fun way to edit their work. It also allows them to review and master the basic shapes. After trying different checklists, and getting limited results, I was so happy when I found a fun and educational way for my students to improve their writing and math at the same time! This worksheet would work great for students in grades K-2.
