WRITING
We
are working on thinking like writers and getting our ideas on paper using
pictures and words. We are also labeling, stretching out words, and
using our vowels. This week we are working on turning our writing
and ideas into books and scrolls. We are working on thinking about
what we are going to write and planning it out across all of the pages in our
story. Including details and labeling in our pictures is an important way to
tell more about our story. We are also working on neatness, finger
spacing, punctuation, and making sense.
