MJ is learning to write.

MJ as part of being a Room one member and a member of Toko school there are areas of the curriculum we have been working on and firstly it has been wrting. With this in mind I adapted some of the tasks so that you would have positive learning opportunities along with opportunities for success.

I used both resources that all the children use, for example the printed cards and then also a whiteboard for handwriting time.MJ took a while to get into this activity but now as we near the end of term three he hasshown some great progression. When its work time he is eager most of the time to get stuck in. And now he are sitting down taking the lid of the pen and waiting for me to start. As his enthusiasm has grown I have developed a new resource. We have a big handwriting book, that shows how each letter is formed along with small activities that help develop the hand control for each of the letters shapes.

I have added examples of MJ's work to display his success in this area. I start him off hand over hand showing how to create each letter shape. as we progress further in the task I lessen the help he has  and give him the freedom to explore the letter shapes, with me giving verbal direction. MJ has shown great success and the willingness to trust me and give it a go, I know your family are very proud of you and so are all of  us at Toko School.
