Happy Thursday!

We had a very BUSY day! It was full of learning and fun :) Goodness! Missing a day of school really affected our plans! Here is Davin helping us to write a morning sentence. It is very important that we know the difference between a sentence, a word and a letter. This is still developing in some students. Please encourage this by framing or putting your fingers around these things in books at home :) 

Shaylee helped us find the 'oo' chunk in the word school. YAY!!! We have another chunk expert! 

I just ADORE Mo Willems. If you don't have his books in your home library...you SHOULD! :) Haha. They're amazing and full of snap words for kids. They are super funny and have a lot of things, like bold words, that help kids read with good expression. Today we read this pigeon book and noticed bold words and speech bubbles! I even had a writer try a speech bubble in her writing!

Here you can see Beau and Myah sharing their fabulous writing with us. Many of us are working on goals, such as....
Writing from left to right
Putting spaces between words

Writing about real life and not drawing pretty pictures

We are also learning not to fill up the pages with pictures or color over our words. I always tell them, "This makes it hard for the reader to read."

Taylor L. had a great risky word today! She wrote sport.
