Writers...Hard at Work

We have been very busy writing, and we have all of the basics down. We are writing high frequency words correctly, have excellent phonectic, or "kindergarten" spelling, are starting to use our knowledge of word families to transistion to conventional, or "grown-up" spelling, and are beginning to use capital letters and punctuation correctly.
Now we need to take it a step further. We are beginning to learn new ways to organize our writing and ways to make our writing more descriptive. So next week, we are going to write about our favorite toys. Please have your child bring in one toy that they love. Please make it small enough to fit in their backpack, and do not send anything electronic or expensive--like Nintendos or PlayStations...We will bring the toys home after a few days. Thanks!
Look at how they concentrate when they write...so cute!
