Spelling Word Work Stories
Today I changed up the word work rotation. We are working with short u and long u vowel sounds this week. We've done similar word work activities for about 5 weeks so today I challenged the class to use ALL their words in a story. The story could be a little silly but had to make sense. Check out some of their writing pieces and feel free to leave a comment or 2!
One day I was stuck in the brush. Then a bunch of monkeys started chasing me! Who would rescue me? I got a clue about why they were chasing me when I realized that I had bananas and some other fruit. I even had a crumb of bread. The crew of monkeys was amused. Why? They seemed to be arguing in between their laughs. Suddenly I heard a tune. It was coming from a juice stand. I refused to stop moving because the monkeys were still behind me. I tried to call 911 but they thought I wasn't telling the truth. I saw a car trunk open at the junk yard as I ran past. I also passed a store that sold suits. Finally I got away but I slipped on the morning dew and I also said something rude to the monkeys. Trust me, it happened!
Story by Brady
I have a bunch of toys in my room but in the kitchen all you will find is fruit or juice. I argue with my brother sometimes when I have been eating cookies or donuts because I normally leave a crumb or two. I refuse to clean up the mess my brother leaves from eating. My class at school is often called a crew. During our time in music we have been known to make a beautiful tune. I must tell you the truth. I need a clue to solved the riddle of the car trunk. It may not seem too difficult but it seems to amuse my brother. I've told you quite a bit about my brother and you need to know that once he wore a suit to school. It's important that you know about my family. I trust my mom with all of my secrets. My dad drinks Mountain Dew. I am stuck in the middle between my older brother and my younger brother. It is common for me to rescue my little brother especially after I brush my teeth at night.
Story by Brooklyn
There were a bunch of people at the football game including quite a crew of fans. I heard a familiar tune so I turned around. The man behind me offered me some juice. I refused to move from that seat in the stands because it was the best seat. Along with the man who offered me juice there was a bunch of fruit. The referees called a holding flag but the truth was an offsides so the other team was upset. I brushed the crumbs from the chips I'd eaten from my lap. I drank some Mountain Dew. As I watched I thought that the referee had no clue who won. There was a man who began to argue with the ref about the game. A young kid was amused as he watched but I thought it was rude. I trust the referees and I knew he would be okay when I watched him put his gear into the trunk of his car and drive away.

We are working toward our 5 "wins" in a row on our Arrow scoreboard and today we got win #1. Here's to all the great work that keeps happening as we are Running Through 4th Grade!
