K-2 kids are letter writing. I need to remember that creation is difficult because student skills and self confidence run at such a wide range. One student might take the activity and make it their own and then some. While another student struggles with identifying letters. Some students want so badly to "finish" their letters in the allotted 45 minutes that they end up crying. I need to parcel these lessons out so kids can feel good about the part of the process that they are in. This has not been a stellar week, but there has been a lot of learning going on!
