We wrote the first one together on the board to get some practice in. Then some of my students tried the second one on their own, while others stayed with me to write another one together.
It was a really great quick assessment for where they are in their writing abilities (e.g. using capital, periods, checking over their work), and also to see what vocabulary they are still having a hard time with (i.e. the students who are coming up to ask what each word means).
It was also great practice for using our word wall. Many students were asking how to spell words that are already up there, so it's a new skill we need to get in the habit of using :)
