Writing around the room - they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
The magic is in the conversations that happen as they are finding, writing, discussing,
and being just so grown-up in doing their important work!
Authentic oral language using acadmic vocabulary, and writing practice at its best!
Top reasons why they love it:
1. The clipboard, of course!
2. The thrill of the search around the room for the pictures and words!
3. The non-threatening saying and writing of big, grown-up words!
4 My theory... When kids love doing something, it is because appropriate practice has met
them where they are at ability wise! Ahhh, what a refreshing concept!
Top reasons why I love it:
1. The clipboard {GREAT fine motor practice, holding the board up and writing at
angle helps to build those wrist and hand muscles!}
2. The thrill of the search - visually discriminating, noticing pictures, letters, words, in
other words, the world around them!
3. The big delicious words - hello oral language! Gets them talking and elaborating about
subject matter!
4. Appropriate practice, independent, engaging, and super oral language eliciting {especially when done with a partner}!
My kids have been LOVING the space vocabulary, but we will soon start the Transportation and Valentine's editions! They are ready to print and go!
