Children can write - even if they're just learning to write. I was so happy last week when BK brought me this booklet he'd made at home, completely on his own steam. His mother had brought home some chicks for a couple of days and BK documented the experience in his book, making connections to germs and water - two things we've been learning about in class. Bravo! Encourage your child to write about things that are interesting or important to them. Encourage them to sound out words and have fun writing, rather than worrying over spelling too much. A germ-covered hand. E coli alert! Thanks again, BK! I'm happy to document student work on our blog if you send it in.
