For example, as students learn to clearly write, "The pizza is divided into fourths," they are reinforcing their understanding of fractions and ordinal numbers. Students write letters, words, and sentences about a variety of content-area topics appropriate for the primary classroom. Monday through Thursday , the weekly subjects for writing exercises include nutrition, our solar system, pets, and vehicles.
