Writing in Kindergarten
The second semester is rolling along and we are working hard on writing. We are working on using uppercase letters to start a sentence, using finger spaces in between words, and using correct punctuation. We are also encouraging students to use sight words! Please keep studying for our weekly sight word spelling tests.
