This week we discussed simple sentences and how we could make our sentences better. :)
The students were shown examples about a duck. The first sentence was simple and "uncolorful." This was a 1 Star Sentence. The second sentence just added one word, a color word and it made the sentence better. This was a 2 Star Sentence! The third and last sentence was amazing!! It was a 3 Star Sentence!! (The students cheered for the 3 Star Sentence, it was too cute! )
We had a discussion on how we could make our simple 1 Star Sentence better and better! Here is what we came up with. Our sentence was about a cake.
** Ooh we want to point out the writing in the pictures below is done by the students and by us. In the sentences, you will notice sight words are spelled correctly and other words are written phonetically. The students are learning how to write using the sounds they hear, if they don't hear it... they done write it, and that's okay right now. The students didn't know how to spell cake, but they knew it rhymed with make and all they had to do was change the beginning sound. Also, you may notice in the 3 Star sentence that the word ~for~ is written down as *four*, we are teaching the students to be independent writers and they are using words they know. All of these things are part of the writing process. :)
Hope you enjoy the amazing work!!

| For those that had some trouble, the phonetic word is vanilla. :) They thought it was the best cake ever! haha |
We know you can get stressed completing the Writing Home Learning (home work) with your child, but we wanted you to see just how much your child is capable of!! :) They know a lot of sight words and they know their sounds... they just need us to help remind them that they are Writers and they can do it!! :)
