Guided Writing - this week the children chose a dinosaur they would like
to draw and tell something about. The children are asked to do their
best work and add detail to their drawings. Ask them what it means to
add detail. Then I guide their writing. This is when we talk about leaving a finger
space between each word, only capital letters when needed and punctuation.
I also use the word editing when something needs to be changed.
Our paper mache dinosaur egg. Each day a different
group of children added a layer to the egg. We will crack
it open on March 2nd. I wonder what will be hidden inside the egg?

Find the ten hidden dinosaur tracks and sound out the picture
