Facts versus Opinions in Writing Take 2!! (Freebie until Sunday!)

As the school year is dwindling down, I am trying my BEST to keep the kiddos (and myself) entertained.  They all loved the Reasoning With Rain Facts Versus Opinion activity, so I figured I would make another one!   ( if you missed it, find it here for free)

Here is Petal Pondering.  It's a fun spring/summer themed fact vs. opinion activity complete with a sun themed board and flower sentences.  


It also includes a homework/ carryover sheet for extra practice.

It will be FREE on TpT but only for a limited time. Grab your copy and pretty please leave me lovely feedback if you like it! Find it HERE!
