Handwriting/Writing

We are continuing Opinion Writing. The students are doing great giving their opinion for what they like. We are working on supporting their reasons... ex. I like because they are super soft.  ex. Dogs are better because they like to play with you. And continuing to stretch unknown words. On Friday, we will read Eating the Alphabet: Fruits and Vegetables. Then we will discuss making the words plural with -s or -es. **This information is just to inform the students, we do not expect them to follow this rule in Kindergarten. 

Parents: please make sure your child is completing their writing homework and you are not spelling the words for them. We are teaching confidence in writing and getting them to use their sounds. :)
