We have been building a folder of Africa Animals during writing workshop this month. The children have been introduced to three new animals per week, watching a simple video clip of the animal in its habitat and learning interesting facts about them. Writing Workshop is on Monday and Friday. On Fridays, the children add the animals they have learned about during the week to their folder and get to collect their animal post card containing the facts we’ve learned. The folder will be sent home at the end of the month of April. They are doing an amazing job..they are fantastic writers! Remember that “inventive” spelling is okay. Encourage your child to listen to the sounds in each word as they say them and write those letters instead of spelling the words for your child.
