We have started journals but not sure what I should be doing exactly. My first graders ask me how to spell every other word they want to write, and the kindy asks for more than that. We also draw pictures, but I encourage the first graders to write something. I tell them to sound it out and do their best. But should I be writing down the words they ask for so they can copy them? I hesitate to do that, because with the three girls I would be doing more writing than they are!
