March has arrived!
Our entire school is embracing Thinking Maps!
We have been introducing them to all students from TK to Fifth grade.
Look at the fantastic writing our TK students created using a bubble map and a tree map.
They were so successful and excited to write a sentence describing a leprechaun
and then illustrating their sentence!

After reading, That's What Leprechauns Can Do by Eve Bunting, we brainstormed adjectives to describe a leprechaun and filled in a large class leprechaun bubble map.
Students then copied the adjectives onto their own bubble map.
Here is my class bubble map with the adjectives my students brainstormed
and a student's completed bubble map!

Next the kiddo's chose their three favorite adjectives and wrote them on a tree map. They then used this information to write a sentence describing leprechauns on the bottom of the paper.
