Names

I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture, but one little Bunny wrote her name on her work.  At this point in the year, there is a huge range of ability in writing one's name.  Some children can do it well, some children can sort of get a letter or two and some won't even attempt it.  All of those are appropriate.  We typically encourage the children to just start with the first letter of their name.  Some are receptive to the suggestion and some aren't.  Writing is a later developing skill and we are not at all concerned when children aren't interested.  Everyone learns to write at some point, and it will be different for each child.
