  8. Writing • Conveying ideas through pictures and words/sentences • Ultimately, our goal is for the children to write 4 or more sentences about one topic with phonetic spelling. • We do not expect conventional spelling of words other than those we have on our word wall. • Lets all try and translate the next slide using phonetic spelling.
