Writing Activity 2
Age 6

Writing activities can be prompted by holidays or special events. In this Thanksgiving piece, an expressive 6-year-old listed everything she is thankful for, from her family to the solar system. Notice that not all spelling errors are corrected. For young elementary students, our teachers are careful to increase their expectations for correctness gradually, allowing students to master one thing at a time as they are introduced to spelling and writing conventions. This enables students to become confident writers who are comfortable expressing themselves on paper.
