I also wanted to bring a little writing and math to the story. Each student wrote in their journals: My name is ___________. It has ____ letters. I like it because ___________. Lots of students wanted to share why they liked their name, here are some of the reasons.
I like my name because…
… it is from a movie
… it is means something about God
… it reminds me of school
… it is nice
… it reminds me of when I go outside
… it is like the sun
… my mom loves it
… reminds me of playing princess at recess
… I was named after a good soccer player
… it is short
… it is about God and if I ask him something it will come true
… it reminds me of the sky
… it is after a real flower
… it is after an animal
… it’s not too long
… it sounds like Michael Jackson
… it is fun
Also- give your kids a huge high five for working quietly and staying on task all morning so I could do reading groups today!
Have a great day!
