¡Hola!

Many of us are now using the “I can” format to write and post our objectives when we discuss them with the kids. Here are some great sentence starters in Spanish for writing them! Thanks, Soraya! This is just part one of the list--it's quite extensive! Happy writing!

This is just part one of the list--it's quite extensive! Thanks, Soraya!  

Happy writing!

I found this today at The Loco Teacher, and I love it! It would be pretty challenging to do with my little ones, but for you upper grade teachers, I'd love to see you try it out!

She has the kids run around the library (not literally, I assume...) and find some books that interest them, then put them together and write it down.

Check out the link for more details!

Just for fun, here are a couple I made up with books I had at my house. Enjoy!
