WOW!! What a week! The children are getting comfortable using their "brain" to write and begin to attempt to spell words. My goal this week was to establish a safe environment for the children. I believe after you see the pictures you will believe "goal accomplished." The children are writing and attempting to develop their own sentence after lots of modeling. I modeled daily writing tips and ideas. I am feeling comfortable with this weeks goal. Some students are writing alone while others still need to trace written letters. With varing levels of prior knowledge and ability comes different starting places.
