[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] As for writing the "opinion" pieces, I think it's great that young kids are asked to convey what they think about something. Most of the time, what they write makes no sense and come out as gibberish (my DC was in K last year), but I think it's good practice for them to practice their "thinking" skills. [/quote] Not a worthwhile activity for a K child. Time would be much better spent developing "thinking" or "opinion" skills verbally. Save the writing for later. [/quote] Disagree. Nothing wrong with having kids "write" in K. They can write down exactly the way they verbally say it. Like I said, the writing is gibberish, barely legible, letters turned around, etc... But it's writing practice, none the less, which is important, too.[/quote]
