As we begin learning to use our letter sounds to write, each student has been given a journal. We've introduced the Tools of the Mind writing style of using lines to indicate different words. As far as what to write, we've been talking about our super power- choosing what kind of day you are going have. We've talked about how this is called setting an intention.
Our intentions always begin with the words "I am going to be..."
When writing, we follow these steps:
1. Think of what you want to write
2. Draw one line for each word
3. Tap it out- say what you will write on each line
4. Start writing!
