Space Riddles

I absolutely LOVE when my kiddos are excited to write.  This year they have really enjoyed the Writer's Workshop Model.

Today, we brainstormed a quick list of facts for each planet since we're finishing up this unit.  The kids picked one to write a riddle about.  After they completed their writing they each made a picture of their planet and cut it into puzzle pieces.  Buddies worked together reading and solving the riddles.

I plan on putting this as an option during Daily 5 next week since MOST kiddos wanted to write another riddle.
