Kindergarten Writing Curriculum Calendar
What is a writing curriculum calendar?
A writing curriculum calendar is a calendar for the year of when specific writing genres will be taught.
What is Writer's Workshop?
This is a time everyday that your child spends on writing. We focus on different genre studies, craft studies and process studies. A genre study focuses on a specific type of writing. In Kindergarten we focus on the following genres; poetry, narrative writing, informational, personal narratives, procedural and response to literature. A process study is when we offer choice of a specific genre and may focus on word spacing, editing techniques, and develop writing partnerships. A craft study is when we focus on writing conventions, good beginnings, dialogue bubbles, sound/symbol work, features characteristic of a specific genre, etc.
