A favorite in my class is the use of a decorated mini clipboard with a sheet of lined paper and a pencil attached with a ribbon. The children walk around the room copying every word they see. This has encouraged me to label everything, including window, door, teachers chair, and so on.They use the clipboards in home living to use to play restaurant and take orders. I put on restaurant type music and the whole class becomes involved.

Good question, Danielle. I do both! The writing journal is more of a confidence builder than anything, so I put seasonal printables, their names, a sign-in sheet, and the like in it. Sometimes they love the seasonal printables, but other times, they would just rather make their own picture. At the moment my class is addicted to writing, and they are mostly interested in making their own pictures with one another. I just go with the flow :).

Do you just let them freely write or do you give a goal for them to work towards? Thanks!

It always takes me by surprise when she writes (or paints) a word!
