Totally caught the bug ...LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. Totally caught the bug last winter and implemented it within my classroom. I cant wait to see how I can better manage the management of the system this coming year w/ 6 more kids in my classroom! The paper end of it was amazing -- however the work was OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD! <br /><br />I made the connection to her writing that are you writing a sticky note a journal entry w/ no meaning each day yea writing is BORING then, BUT, if you can tell and develop a story you have the world by the tail! Teaching students the curriculum of time ....LOVE! <br /><br />Need more time to go read everyone's thoughts!!

It opened my eyes to the power of DRAWING and how important it is to the young child - the New Writer/Reader. Older students can write down key words or phrases to remind them of points they want to make in their writing - or even make an outline. But the Young Writer can't do that yet. They use DRAWING to organize their thoughts. When they learn to draw more details in their picture, they are training their brain to expand it's view which will help them to include details in their writing later on. When they see how much more interesting a fully developed picture is compared to a single drawing of a person 'floating in mid-air' on the paper, they'll recognize that in their writing, too. <br /><br />In kindergarten, we almost never do any writing without drawing first. It IS part of the Writing Process! <br /><br />Giving our students Directed Drawing lessons is important as well. Just as we instruct them with handwriting, we need to give them the opportunity to develop the confidence to draw something difficult by breaking it down into smaller pieces. Finding "how-to-draw-a-castle/penguin/cat" (whatever) instructions is easy - just google it. "I" am not an artist but I can follow a 5-step direction of how to draw a simple fish! So can anyone - that's all a young child needs. In doing so, they learn to use the positional vocabulary we all use while demonstrating, they'll increase their focus to task ('cuz they want to draw it!), stamina, AND start to see objects in a different way.<br /><br />Directed Drawing lessons just opens the door to drawing for them! Teachers will see their skills increase all year long - which means they'll put more detail in their pictures - which means they'll be THINKING about details - which will transfer into their writing.Ardis Kosmalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808820508498479724.post-57888053098928610732012-06-26T22:27:17.480-05:002012-06-26T22:27:17.480-05:00Fantastic post!!

I have only read the first four chapters (I am trying to catch up!!) but already I love Katie Wood Ray. As Kindergarten teachers at the beginning of the year, we all begin writing with pictures. Katie Wood Ray reminds us that this is what we should expect from 5yr olds in September. I can't wait to read the next two chapters!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881160003457939171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808820508498479724.post-36002986925478793182012-06-26T06:11:27.061-05:002012-06-26T06:11:27.061-05:00I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Katie Wood-Ray!!!

This past year we used Giaccobe's book as our focus and I floundered; I really struggled to fit the two together because Giaccobe's focus was on the narrative.

I know in this book it mentions going through the process of storytelling first. How would you go about having the kids write on the first day of school by meshing both Katie's book and Talking, Drawing, Writing? Thanks so much for all of your suggestions! I am curious as to know you start off your year!kharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357436846638419340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808820508498479724.post-82088208260898180822012-06-23T23:56:42.155-05:002012-06-23T23:56:42.155-05:00I loved reading your post and I totally agree - cu...I loved reading your post and I totally agree - cut them off before they get bored.....They'll come back wanting more.....and that is a kinder teacher's dream! :0)<br /><br />I look forward to reading more!<br />jeannie<br /><a href="www.kindergartenlifestyle.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Kindergarten Lifestyle</a>Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07996519153170024853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808820508498479724.post-48069092152888119962012-06-23T10:16:05.787-05:002012-06-23T10:16:05.787-05:00What a wonderful post!

I have always believed in writing from day one and my kids always LOVE writing. Starting on day one really helps get the kids see they are writers and helps set up that atmosphere in the classroom. They would write all day of they could!
