BRAVE SPELLERS

Today we had a fun lesson about being brave spellers.  I played the repeating part of the song "Brave" by Sara Barielles and asked the students to think about why I did it before writing time.  "You want see us always being brave spellers!"  Then I gave them the following prompt  "A brave speller..."  They came up with the following ideas:
*never gives up on writing
*makes the sounds and guesses what letter it is
*makes his/her best guess
*knows how to help himself/herself
*keeps working
*WRITES!!!!
All of our brave spellers for the day (everyone) got their name written on the smartboard chart.
We will be playing the clip from our new theme song, Brave, daily before writing time!
