“Couldn’t kids do that?” #SOLC19

“I’m just going to scribble a little before I get started with my writing, Mrs. Wyman.”

“Did you know I do that, too?”

“You do? Where do you do the scribbling? I’m going to use this little whiteboard.”

“I do my scribbles in a special notebook.”

“What does your notebook look like? Can I see it?”

“Of course. It’s at home. Would you like me to bring it in?”

“Yes. I’d love to see it. I bet the other kids would like to see it, too.”

“I’ll write myself a note to remember to bring it on Monday.”

“Great. Couldn’t kids do that? Scribble before they start writing?

It helps me feel ready.”

“It helps me feel ready, too.

Let’s tell the other kids about it together, shall we?”

“Yes!” (fist pump in the air)
