All the children in our classroom were very excited with our new writing section! This area is filled with letters, pictures of ourselves, papers, pencils, our names typed out and our new address book! We are encouraging our children to continue an ongoing project with last years class. We sent out a homework assignment where we would like our parents to work with their children in practicing writing and learning their address! We are putting them in our class Address Book so we can write letters and send them out to our friends through out the year! Please bring back the homework assignment if you haven't already! =)
The children did a little experimenting when they went to the writing section, they would just grab a bunch of letters and their pictures and glue them on a piece of paper. We started to have a conversation about what we could use these letters for. Than the children thought their names since they had the pictures their too!
This exercise helped our children learn their letters, practice writing their names, recognizing different letters and learn how to write on lined paper. They are having the most fun creating "messages" and once they start receiving them in the mail at their homes, we hope to create a love for writing. We would love to share their work with you and become a partner in this project. Please feel free to ask Ambreen to see your child's work. The children are welcome to bring in cards, paper, envelopes, etc for this project.
We would love for our parents to continue this project at home as well, please let us know if you have any questions.
