Grocery Lists

Shared writing is something that I normally wait to introduce in January after lots of exposure to me writing, journal writing, and small group activities. However this year I started in November; wow these kids are amazing.
Invented spelling is what is appropriate for preschool. We stretch out the words to write the sounds we hear.
Before the grocery store opened we made a grocery list together. The children wrote the words, and everyone helped say the letters for the sounds they heard.
