New link added
This is a great site to find Lexile reading levels. Check out the link on the side bar. The children will be able to figure out how to use this one easily themselves.
After writing each piece the children's work can be displayed inside the classroom on a wall. I started stapling each piece over top of the older piece to create an instant portfolio. When we did our reflection pieces all we had to do was take them down and look back at writing progress over time.
I have taught kindergarten for 13 years in the public school setting. I created the writing blog for a class as part of a professional development component but hope to have it be used by staff members as as a sounding board and creative ground for developing writing ideas in kindergarten. The class blog is for parents to be able to accesss information and activities happening weekly in class.
