Activity

stuck in my chimney, I would …”
▪ Students will have access to the pieces of paper on the chimney to help
with spelling

words because these will be displayed and we want everyone to be
able to read them

Evaluation

If Santa was stuck in my chimney, I would …

Reflection

Students loved this activity! Every student had multiple creative ways of how to get Santa
unstuck from the chimney and enjoyed having the chance to share them with the rest of the class.
Would use this writing prompt again as a way of showing students how to brainstorm.

Have the ideas displayed on the chimney for students to access spelling allowed me more time to
assessed students with writing needs instead of having every student asking me how to spell the
word “rocket”.
