We Can Write!

This week we have begun Work on Writing (one of the Daily 5 components of our Language Arts program). First we think of a topic. Then we draw a picture with as much detail as we can. We think about what we want to say and practice saying the sentence out loud. We use a highlighter to draw lines on the paper - one line for each word. Then we take our pencils and print as many letters as we can hear in each word. The pictures below show some of the students from our class at work. Notice one student is looking at the Word Wall to find one of our "heart words" to spell!
