 We will be sharing books every day in read alouds, big books, and poetry too for our shared readings. We write each day in our journals the best we can. We also write using our Writer's Workshop folders. We write together and sometimes Mrs. Eller models how to write. We write as a class about many things. Especially this year we will be doing Interactive Writing together in Social Studies and Science.I am trying to integrate these content area intothe Literacy Collaborative Model, which I will continue to use. We are learning to listen and enjoy books. Learning in K is a lot of play too. We are ready for your child to grow in love and friendship this year.We use Paths in guidance and Responsive Classroom to help us to be good friends and good choices.
