The Learning Ladder II A reading and writing curriculum for Family Child Care Providers, Children and Families

Writing Activity

1. Sit by the sand or water table and watch toddler aged children for 15 minutes.
2. Write about what was happening in the area. Answer these questions:

   What were they doing?
   Were they talking? What were they saying?
   What ideas for playing did you give them?

   For example:

   Andrea and Diana were fighting over a big cup. Each child was saying that the big cup was hers. I talked with them about sharing things. Then, I gave them several cups of different sizes.

3. Type in a word processing program and save it to your disk portfolio.
4. Share what you wrote with your writing tutor.

Help with the past continuous (was or were verb + ing) is available.
