Students in Room 7 have begun to print simple sentences using predictable sentence starters. Using the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?" as a starting point, we used the sentence starter "I see a". We first read the book, each student being given the opportunity to orally tell their peers what they see.
Using visual examples of colour words, animals from the book and sentence frames, students then explored printing simple sentences with varying levels of adult support.
Expanding on our initial activity, we repeated the same task but used animals from one of our favourite songs "Slippery Fish".
During the week of Valentine's Day, we built upon our previous skills in order to make a classroom book.
All of the students in Room 7 have done such a wonderful job exploring sentence writing.
