Kindergarten, Writing, Week 2

The letters we practiced this week were capital V, W, and Z.

For Small Muscle Deveopment:

• Tuesday I drew some straight, wavy, squiggly, and jagged lines, each on its own piece of construction paper and had K. cut on the lines.
• Friday I gave her a piece of constuction paper and a bunch of shapes I had cut out (triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, etc.). K. chose shapes and glued them on the paper to make a picture.

For Writing Development:

• Wednesday K. picked her favorite rock and dictated a description of the rock to me. Then she drew a picture of the rock. I took a large piece of construction paper, folded it in half, stapled the story on one side and the picture on the other, and wrote the title, author, and date on the front of the "book". Here is what she wrote:

It looks like a heart, but hearts in your body aren't really that shape. It's gray. It feels hard, cold, and smooth. It looks nice to me. It's heavy, but not very heavy. It's shiny.
