If a letter 'bounces' don't lift your pencil.

If you cross a letter you can lift your pencil]]> 2020-09-15 11:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747319315 jessical71 https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747322971 Go is GREEN and Stop is RED

We write from left to right.

On your template, place a green dot and a red dot to indicate where to start writing and where to stop writing.]]> 2020-09-15 11:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747322971 jessical71 https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747325950 LETTER FAMILIES

Capital letters and numbers sit in the sky and grass. Small letters are divided into families (sky, grass, dirt)

Sort the letters into sky, grass and dirt families.

Place the magnetic letters on your sky grass dirt on your whiteboard to show you know where they go. 

Every child could put letter up or turn it into a game.]]> 2020-09-15 11:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747325950 jessical71 https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747328744 LETTER FORMATION

All capital letters sit in the sky AND grass.

Start with writing BIG (use the large line template) and then move to the smaller one.

Young children take time to learn to write and you will see when they are ready. Before this, use patterns :)]]> 2020-09-15 12:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747436446 jessical71 https://padlet.com/jessical71/xkk9mp7dwjqytdel/wish/747454799 Sky letter tracing. Use pointer finger to trace letters in the air. Start big and make it smaller and smaller.

Finger writing on back. Guess what letter kids are writing on your back (make it a game).
