HANDWRITING/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.
