Daily Five
Recently in my 1st grade classroom I have been teaching a "work on writing" segment for a daily 5 done every morning. During this time each student is given a sticker sheet and allowed 5 stickers to place together that creates a type of story. The next step is to write 3 sentences that relate to the picture and make "sense". The creativity of 1st graders to me is incredible and exciting to watch. I have witnessed stories about "flying cars" and "dangerous bunnies". Instructing this daily 5 activity has been a great experience and I have enjoyed it greatly.

My school too does the daily 5, but they do not do it everyday. I think your activity is a great way for students to express stories. I could see how first grade students could come up with very diverse stories. It seems like their brains are always thinking about something different from one and other.
