Reading we:
- Added our first popcorn words to the word wall. Ask your children why they are called popcorn words.
- We added a song to our poem folder that teaches us how to spell the last 5 words
- For 2 days we talked about fun ways to interact with our books. One being acting our book out. The kids had fun trying it out and I had fun watching all the smiles. Here is a snip-it...
Writing we:
- Your kids are coming home with a story they wrote about our trip to the fire station. Please have them share it with you. We wrote 1 page a day together at the meeting spot and then off to try on their own. They all worked really hard on it. Some examples of reinforcing compliments to give:
"Your pictures match your words!"
"Look at all the words/letters you wrote!"
"You really stayed on topic...it's all about your field trip!"
"Your story has a beginning, middle, and end!"
Math we:
- Made shape collages
Played dot card top-it (war). Introduced language such as greater, less. more, fewer
Practice at home:
Try spelling little words instead of saying them.
For example,
- Turn the lights o-f-f
- I l-o-v-e you
- G-o to bed! :)
Coming up: Field trip to Wolfe's Neck Farm--Wednesday!
