Kindergartners Write from the HEART

This week we started our journal writing in kindergarten. Yesterday we talked about writing from the heart. We brainstormed the items we love and hold in our heart and then illustrated these items in a heart that will be attached to our journals. The students were very proud of their heart illustrations and shared them at an afternoon meeting. Today we used our heart illustrations to attempt journal writing for the first time. All students were successful and were proud of their first entry.
