Friendship Building SEL Skills Writing Challenge

Friendship Building SEL Skills Writing Challenge
P.E. & Health, ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Grammar, Grade 2, 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets

Teaching critical social emotional skills while getting kids to enjoy writing during the early elementary years is key. One way we can do that is to tie in their interests to the writing process. Building solid friendships takes time, and one of the ways we can set up safe spaces for our learners to think through the consequences of certain actions is by role playing and creating stories. This resource (and the others that complement it in this series!) seeks to provide the scaffolding needed for learners to imagine and begin telling a story in written form. Then they're invited into 5 different STEAM extension activities to keep the conversations going. Thinking about the way we think is a foundational skill for growing the executive functions our kiddos will use in the editing process. For this reason, a short checklist has been included at the end of page 4 so that learners can begin to go back and check their work. This key skill in developing healthy executive functioning is intentionally made visible to students to prompt ownership over the quality of their writing. STANDARDS: Meets CCSS Writing standards for grades 2-5. Remember, there are over a year's worth of writing activities in this line! Keep the fun stories rolling by checking out holiday, winter, summer, life skills, and adventure writing activities from Melissa Is Teaching! This printable is optimal for 2nd-5th graders as they take on the cognitively heavy task of writing a narrative, while also supporting them with the scaffolding and inspiration in the provided idea matrix. BONUS: Take advantage of the 4+ extension activity ideas included in this printable. These activities will take their writing beyond the page and bring it to life in STEAM-supported outlets. What you'll get: a 4 page PDF including instructions, extension activity ideas, and 3 student pages. One of these pages is simply writing space for you to print off as many copies as you need based on the amount your students are writing. You'll also find the editing checklist to prompt students to edit their own work for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.

How to write an interesting fact file: The answer to the question is already in the heading. Surely you have noticed that different fonts are used in it. Strange shapes and various graphic layouts magically attract the eye and make us want to take a closer look at the text. This works for facts as well: People love to be surprised and find different ways of presenting data much more interesting.

Reading Comprehension Passages Fiction Set 2 Snapshot Genre: Fiction (animal-themed short stories with skill pages) Subject: Reading Primary Topic: Animal stories for comprehension and literacy practice Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): O What This Teaches Best Reading comprehension with short, engaging animal stories: Each passage centers on an animal-related situation and is followed by questions that point students back to key details. Responsible choices around animals: Characters learn boundaries and care (e.g., not feeding/petting a wild fawn; returning tadpoles to the pond; releasing butterflies after photographing them). Character feelings and motivations: Students can track how characters feel and why (excited, uneasy, frustrated, worried) and connect those feelings to actions and outcomes. Cause and effect + problem/solution: Stories show clear outcomes from decisions (escaped pheasants lead to chasing; fog blocks stargazing; feeding helps Allan pet a dolphin). Integrated skill practice (vocab, spelling, writing): Support pages include vocabulary matching, spelling tasks, short responses, and retelling. Note: one question page uses the name “Zelda” where the story uses “Zelma.” Learning Goals Students will recount the beginning, middle, and end of a selected story using details from the text. Students will describe characters’ feelings and motivations and cite what in the story shows them. Students will identify a problem and solution in a story and explain how the solution affects the ending. Students will explain cause-and-effect relationships (what happened, why it happened, and what changed). Students will use context clues to determine the meaning of challenging words in the passages. Students will make a reasonable prediction based on story events and character actions. Passages Include 1.Unexpected Visitors: Terra gets an unexpected visitor. 2.Feeding Time: Allan visits an aquarium and feeds the dolphins. 3.New Pup Next Door: The neighbor has a new dog and Benny wants to see. 4.Stargazing: Jazmin loves looking at the stars. She visits the beach today. 5.On the Search: Abigail wants to find a shark tooth more than anything. 6.Tadpoles: Brittney & Stan take frogs eggs home & watch them hatch. 7.Lucky Caterpillar: Lily and Sadie watch a caterpillar crossing the road. 8.Karl the Photographer: Karl spends his summer taking photos of butterflies. 9.Chasing Pheasants: Tony and his father have a great idea...or so they think! 10.Part of the Family: Ava is nervous as her cat is about to have kittens.
