Sticky notes are my best friend in the classroom and, for some reason, students love them! We used them today to create and fill out a story map after brainstorming some ideas for our narrative writing. ✍️

If you teach using the Open Court, @McGrawHillK12, then you might recognize this game. We are going to answer a text-dependent writing on “Should marbles be considered a sport?” after we read “Marble Champ”.

Starting the new year with some self- reflection and goals! Thinking about things we hope to start, stop, and continue doing in the new year. Great journaling activity! ✍️ 📓
