Writing Development
Today we practiced our writing skills by writing about our favourite part of the book. The above pictures are examples of grade level work by a grade 1 student and a grade 2 student (respectively). At this point in the year it is important that all students are correctly forming their letters, using capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods at the end. Finger spaces are also important to ensure the work is easy to read. One way students become better at writing (like all skills) is by practicing every day. Some things you can do at home with your child to practice their writing skills are:
- making a grocery list
- making a wish list for an upcoming holiday/celebration
- writing about their school day
- writing letters to family and friends
- playing hangman
