Authors and Illustrators Hard At Work

Our focus for the next few weeks is writing.
At this point the children are expected to begin with an uppercase letter, finger space, sound out the beginning letter of words (most of our friends are doing beginning, middle, and ending sounds), ending with puncuation, and making sure their picture matches their words along with labeling. 
Today the children enjoyed writing about their favorite part of Waiting For Winter.
The book brought much laughter to our room.  In science we are learning about Life Changes and Seasonal Changes. This book was a great way for us to integrate science and writing.
This writing piece will be used as an assessment and will be coming home in the next few days.
Please continue to encourage writing at home.
We have offically moved from a journal to a "real" composition book! 

A side note, because it was a short week we did not have homework. This is a good week to practice journaling. Hint, Hint. ;)
We can sit where ever we want!
