Making the Impossible, Possible

The subtitle of The Fourteenth Goldfish is "Believe in the Impossible/ Possible." This very hopeful outlook, which the main character Ellie possesses, has been the topic of discussion lately. We watched this  inspirational video today of a true story. We were amazed at how this group of boys were able to make something impossible become possible.



We will be using this theme in our next writing project. We will be focusing on the following standards:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.4
Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1-3 above.)
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.5
With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, and editing. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 4 here.)
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.6
With some guidance and support from adults, use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.
