Welcome to the MCP blog! I have been wanting to do this for awhile to post additional ideas you can use at home with your children.
The MWF classes will be doing creative writing throughout the year. We have already sent the Apple and Bees, Biscuits and Butter stories home. Some dictation will be just recapping what we have learned about the the unit. The children will also experience creative story writing and boy are they creative!
What can you do at home?
***Put the stories in a three ring binder for your child to 'read'. You might also consider either laminating the paper or picking up the clear three ring binder sleeves at an office supply store. Have your child design and color a cover for the story book.
You will notice I add picture clues and bold type certain words. You will be amazed how your child will pick up on these reading hints.
*** Have your child dictate additional information or continue the class story.
***After a holiday, special event or vacation, have your child tell you what they remember and what they did. Highlight repetitive words that occur in his/her story.
***Keep it light and keep it fun!!!
