Opinions......Opinions.....Opinions.....
I think we are all full of them.
However, there is no one more full of opinions than a Kindergartener. That's a fact!
The hardest part about teaching facts and opinions is that kids always think that their opinion is a fact.
Child: Broccoli is yucky. That's a fact.
Teacher: No, honey, that's your opinion.
Child: No, it's true that I don't like broccoli.
Actually, I don't know why anyone would argue with that!
Now - if I tell you that dogs are the best creatures on this planet - well that would certainly be a fact! Ha!
I can understand why this is a hard concept for kids.
I made a product to help make writing opinion pieces a little easier. They are simple sentence starters about a variety of fall topics. You can even make a class book out of it! Just click on the link below.
