First graders are great spellers. But sometimes it's easy to get caught up in doing everything right and we're afraid to make mistakes. So...today during writing we focused on spelling our best without worrying about right or wrong, just worrying about if you can go back and read it a second time. If you say a word, slide your way through it, and put a letter for each sound you hear, it's going to be A-OK. After all, that's what editing is for!
