I am new to Kindergarten. I've taught first grade for two years and this is my first year in Kindergarten. I dreaded the fact that I had to teach "small moments" to my students. I thought "They can't even write the letters, how are they going to write about a small moment?" Someone recommended the book, Talking, Drawing, Writing: Lessons for Our Youngest Writers by Martha Horn and Mary Ellen Giacobble. It starts with the basics of storytelling and drawing people. I was amazed and relieved that drawing is the beginning of writing. My students have just finished up a narrative unit. There drawings of their stories we're just amazing!
