[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a Lucy Calkins “Kindergarten Sampler” that goes into great detail about writing a personal narrative and other written stories. Not sure why the other PPs are so incredulous and skeptical. There is a ton of documentation about this. It’s definitely a common project.

Has nothing to do with decision making surrounding red-shirting. Start your own thread instead of hijacking this one. There is already a Lucy Calkins one. [/quote]

It is hard evidence that the anti-redshirters who are screaming about how the PP must have made up the story about the personal narrative in kindergarten are, per usual, ill-informed. [/quote]

My kinders are taught how to form upper and lower case letters along with the sounds that correspond with each letter. Few small words to practice spelling and of course first and last names. Few may write 3-5 word sentences by years end. [/quote]
Your experience is no more true than mine.  My child was asked to sit at a desk and work silently for 3+ hours every morning.  From day 2 she was asked to stretch out her words to write narratives.  She was asked to sit and read silently to herself for up to an hour a day.  Call it whatever you want, but it wasn't appropriate for a 4 yo or new 5 yo.  She cried herself to sleep every night for the entire school year.  It was a terrible year and 1st wasn't much better.  [/quote]

You need to talk to the superintendent/principle about that. That is a issue with the school curriculum or teacher and not with an issue of redshirting. [/quote]
This is literally the curriculum purchased and adopted by the school board.  That's what LC reader's and writer's workshop requires.  The school board is aware.

If you Google there are tons of articles about K not being developmentally appropriate or too academic.  It's not an issue exclusive to LC.[/quote]
