Stephanie, Perhaps the students need more of a gradual release model. You model how to respond in writing for them and give them a template (if necessary) and have them practice using the template and then take the template away. That may help you with their written responses. Perhaps if you team up a grade 1 and a grade 2 student that may help as well. Kelly AB
