Yesterday, the girls learned about breaking words into chunks (aka syllables). I taught them three different ways to break apart a word: clap it out, robot speak, and holding their hand under their chin. Ask your daughter which way was her favorite. As we broke apart all of our names into syllables, most of the girls chose robot speak. We finished our syllable activity by getting into partners and sorting spring words by chunks.
Today, I introduced the girls to the writing process and they were interested and excited to learn the different steps. Today's step was the planning step. The girls had to plan out their next story by using a graphic organizer. In our next Writer's Workshop, the girls will learn about peer editing.
