Writing is a hard thing to teach in early childhood. It takes a LOT of practice and a lot of patience.
This year my students entered behind in writing skills. I mean it makes sense, half of them were at home learning virtually and only had to type responses. So we began at the beginning with handwriting and working on sounding out our words to write. We learned how to make spaces between our words then tougher concepts like capitalization and punctuation.
As you look at these sentences you may see primitive writing, but I actually see a lot of progress so far this year!
Students put drops of paint on one side of their paper then squished it together. (We threw in a lesson on symmetry as well). When they opened it they had to write a sentence or 2 about what they saw in their painting. I was looking for complete sentences and for adjectives. I truly adored hearing all the oohs and aaahs as we opened their paintings. A quick activity but one they had so much fun completing!
