What We Have Been Learning:
Daily 5: We have been adding books and word activities to reading groups. It is wonderful working with these growing readers. The kids also chose new books for their book boxes. I love to see them so excited about new books! They immediately sit down and start reading them.
Phonics: We are meeting new word families. The class is doing a great job understanding that word families have the same middle and ending. This week we were surprised how many words we made with et.
Word Wall Words: This week we added on. Please continue to review reading and writing: a, at, and, am, come, go, here, I, is, look, like, me, my, see, the, this, to, up, we.
Writing Workshop: We are beginning our new writing unit: How to instructions. To get us warmed up, students worked with a partner to put 3 piece puzzles together. We practiced using the words first, next and last when describing our puzzle. This will help us get ready to write out 3 step instructions.
This week we celebrated Oliver Up In Lights. We loved listening to Oliver’s favorite Elephant and Piggie book and hearing where Oliver and his family have traveled.
The class took holding up their signs very seriously as we cheered for the unified basketball team on Friday!
