Writing

We are intrigued by the interest the children show when we begin to take notes. As soon as the pen or pencil and notebook appear we get a multitude of responses. In the first photo, CM brought her favorite pot with cars in it and placed it like an offering on the notebook. It's as if the children sense the importance of writing already. Then JL takes the pen and holds it firmly while he writes! They all seem to make attempts at writing with the pen or pencil when we have our notebooks out. We decided to stop writing and allow them to draw and use the writing utensils as long as it held their interest.
