Verbs!

We have been working on identifying and using verbs in our writing this week. First, we used the song from Madagascar, "I Like to Move It," to play a freeze game. While the music played, students moved around the room and showed different actions of their choice. We kicked, danced, twirled, sang, hopped, skipped, clapped, and jumped. When the music stopped, students had to freeze and share the verb they were acting out. We had lots of fun listening and moving to this fun song!

Our task at the end of the week was to create a new "action" hero to save the world. Students designed, named, and wrote about their action hero using nouns and verbs. They had a lot of fun coming up with verbs that made their action hero special. We all know that Superman wouldn't be famous if he couldn't fly:)
 Here is an example of a completed task...
