Writing Workshop January/February

      
The children continue to build on their story language by talking during weekend news and are starting to become storytellers. Students are getting their thoughts down on paper through pictures, labels, and letters and now words.

             In this unit children will learn how to write about about a particular moment --- one that matters most. Through a combination of drawing and writing, the emphasis will now be about a single event, telling about that event in order and providing a reaction to it.

            Please help your child create and think about small moment stories. Visit places and do as many things with your child, which will then help them when writing.

            The emphasis in this unit will be on writing complete sentences that match the pictures students draw, writing known words and hearing and recording sounds in sequence , and using proper spacing between words.


     The unit will end with a celebration of student growth!!!!
