Sandcastle writing paper
**My class loved using this writing paper! We sat out in the courtyard with buckets, cups, sand, and water and made our very own sandcastles. After experimenting we came up with introductory sentences like, "Buckle your seat belts we are headed to the beach, let's build a sandcastle." Then the students were off to write down the steps to build their sandcastles.**
