Writing...

Okay, I was going to wait until everyone was done and we got them published using some technology...But I'm so excited about their writing that I can barely contain myself!  So...I'm going to share!!!

A few things you should know about first grade published writing...

• word wall words or words that follow a word wall word pattern should be spelled correctly
• phonetic spelling is A-OK! When we edit if we cannot figure the word out within 3 sec. then I will spell it correctly for them.
• a sentence should have a beginning capital letter, spaces and ending punctuation  (at this stage littles LOVE to experiment with other punctuation as well)

So...please enjoy these first few...
