Throughout our weeks together, it is abundantly clear that our class loves reading and listening to stories. The pride they have shown in crafting their own characters, telling their own stories, and illustrating numbers of pages is an obvious source of joy for our young author/illustrators, and in our classroom as a whole.
While the children in 3B are focused mainly on the beginning stages of letter writing, that is focusing on the letters of their name, the creation of these illustrated stories, and the creators’ excitement surrounding these creations is a wonderful sign of the early desire to continue the process of learning to write fully for themselves. Along with scribbling and creating letter-like forms, drawing and illustrating, is an important aspect of emergent literacy itself. Plus, illustrating is simply fun!
We are so proud of our young author/illustrators in 3B, and we look very forward to seeing how the development of story creation grows and enhances in the weeks and months to come. The stories and ideas that the children have brought to life are full of energy and creativity, and show the great spirit and potential that we witness every day in our classroom. Writers and illustrators of 3B, thank you very much for bringing us your wonderful stories!
We are continuing working on our Halloween costumes and we are excited to see how they turn out…
We continue talking about our feelings and emotions. Since emotions are a big part of who we are it is important to identify different emotions and talk about them. It has been a week or so and we are already hearing the children using the new vocabulary to express how they feel. Way to go 3B!
