The Writing Tray

 Inspired by two fancy pens, stamps and a mailbox, the writing tray made its' debut on the shelf. I know it  has a permanent spot on our shelves from the children responses. They all have been really emerging in their writing since a couple of presentations with the metal insets. I was trying to find another creative way for their new skills and there it was for a total of four bucks at Targets' dollar spot. I will change out the materials to go along with maybe the holiday or the subject area that the children have a high interest in. Last week they were writing letters of the alphabet, today Jamesha wrote a word. Jamesha didn't know how to read it , but she wrote papa. When she showed it to me we worked on reading the word. Jamesha was very happy to be able to read what she wrote, I believe for the first time she now understands the relationship between sounds and the written word. Beautiful!!

I should warn you that you should have a nice supply of index cards and envelopes close by, I had to restock it during rest time. The Writing Tray can be contagious!!
