Free Writing Time: with Jerry

As promised, I have 6 posts queued up from one of my favourite ESL classes. Free Writing Time was the brilliant idea of fellow teacher Michaela, where the students write non-stop about anything for 10 minutes. Don't be fooled, these posts may be silly and good for a giggle, but it really is one of my smartest classes. They are all in Grade 3 and their comprehension is wonderful, we're just working on their writing!

Note: Some posts will be pics, but I decided to re-write others as I am not sure they would be easily read in a photo. I have resisted the urge to make any changes and anything that seems weird is because I've done my best to re-create how they actually wrote it.

Jerry wrote a poem one day:

and Score 100 every
