Monday: Brainstorming~ Kiddos will brainstorm a topic for the week and create a bubble map decribing their topic. We will review this Monday & will use a journal that you have supplied for your kiddo.

Tuesday: Rough Draft~ Kiddos use the information from their bubble map to create a rough draft. Should be a minimum of half of the journal page. We will review on Tuesday. 

Wednesday: Editing~ Kiddos will use a pen to revise and edit their rough draft.  Kiddos should capitalize the first word of each sentence, use proper nouns and to punctuate properly.  If your kiddo is struggling spelling a word have him/her sound it out and do the best he/she can phonetically.
