On Friday we read the book Freight Train by Donald Crews. This author does a great job with illustrating and labeling. Instead of a story with a beginning middle and end, Donald Crews using his labels to tell a story about a moving freight train. We have been working so hard with labeling our pictures already! I have been encouraging the kids to add more than one sound per word.
I drew two pictures and asked the kids to stretch out the word using their hands, BA-NAN-A
L-E-A-F. Once we stretched out each word, I had the kids tell me the sounds we heard. This is what we came up with for letters.
Once everyone saw how we stretch out words, it was time for them to show how they can stretch out words to write more than one letter down. Take a peek! Does our writing have to be perfect? Do we need to spell our words correctly right now? GOODNESS NO! We just try our best and never give up!
