Fostering the Home-School Connection with Shared Writing

Shared Writing from Kindergarten

On Friday, Emily hopped off the bus and darted in the house with excitement and ripped open her backpack to pull out this large piece of chart paper with M words written all over it. She was so happy to share it with me and read all the words on the list. We love this! Emily felt so special and it's a great way to cultivate the home-school connection. We hung it up for everyone to see and she loves reading the list to everyone who comes through our kitchen! Can't wait to see more shared writing come home from kindergarten! Way to go Mrs. W!
