Kid Writing

We have been working on our kid writing each week and the progress is quite impressive!  Before we write, we do some simple warm-up exercises to get our bodies ready to write and we practice our letters and sounds.  Then, depending on our previous experiences, we will have a mini lesson to bring us further along in the process.  This past month we have been reading about, discussing and experiencing our fall season.  It seemed a natural topic for our writing.  We reviewed the beginning words and sight words that we have worked with, talked about the period at the end of our writing, and using spaces between words.  The words that we have been using and that you may want to work with at home include:  I, am, as, the, and the 'at' word family.  Hopefully your child has read you all the 'at' rhyming words they came up with in our cat/bat activity.  If not, ask them to share their words with you.  Enjoy reading what we notice or enjoy about Fall.
