Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten
In this class, young writers will learn that writing is a way to communicate meaning. The children will work productively during class and generate topics, plan writing, and record their thoughts on paper. The goal is to teach the writing process by first drawing a picture and then moving on from drawing to phonetics to sounding out words. Students are motivated because they can choose a topic that is important to them. We will share our writings with our classmates!
