Super cute and everything is included for a fun project. Just one problem, the lines in the flip book are too small for some of my writers.
April Oaks –
Great writing resource for engaging reluctant writers

Anything different that will call my students’ attention is worth my attention, especially if it comes from one of my favorite teachers. I loved the idea of this writing exercise and found it fun.
Thank you!

This was a great resource to use during the few weeks before Christmas Break. I used this with my higher level students in second grade. They loved it!
Ontario Teacher’s Pet –
This was definitely beyond a Grade 2 level. I’d say Grade 4 and up. My students liked the idea but needed a lot of modeling and scaffolding to complete this.
