Happy Monday!
Today in skills the Organic Squirrels reviewed old sounds and learned more about the partner sounds /j/ and /y/. They went over tricky words and reviewed nouns. The Zesty Wombats reviewed how two letters can make one sounds and reviewed /qu/, /wr/, /wh/, and /kn/. They read the story The Ham, too. The Screaming Mustaches read another Bedtime Tale called How the Hedgehog Tricked the Hare. They began a graphic organizer about it so they will be able to quickly and easily write a book report about it. The Ice Dragons finished their Jigsaw Jones mystery!
In centers we began to review how to write b and d. Last week was all about discriminating between the letters and this week is going to be writing them in many different ways. Today was with crayon on sandpaper. They also learned a little about how to keep track of their reading fluency using a graph. We used a fake graph with fake data, but starting next week we'll be keeping track for real. They also reviewed the tricky words so and is.
In writing we're still working on the sentence. Today the kids drew pictures then wrote a one-sentence descriptor. They were trying to do more than just label the picture, but also to explain what was happening. They're getting better with sentences! We'll jump to two sentences next, and hopefully soon everyone will be able to write 3 sentences about a picture.
It can be hard to ease into Mondays, but the kids are working hard to come to school ready to go. We're all working hard to keep things going smoothly!
