Happy Wet Wednesday!
Today was a good, busy day.
In skills, the Organic Squirrels read another story and worked on answering questions in a complete sentence. They're still working on short vowels and recongizing them with greater fluency as well as sight words.
The Zesty Wombats are reading Bedtime Tales. Today they read the second half of a story about a sneaky man named Pete, a braggart named Big Jim, and a frog race. They worked on the oo spelling and both sounds that go with it (cool and look).
The Screaming Mustaches are reading Kids Excel. Today they found out what happened during a spelling bee. They're learning multiple spellings for long a - ai (rain), ay (day), a_e (cake), and a (paper).
The Ice Dragons are still working away at The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
In Centers the kids went to the library and worked on the iPads. They played some sight word bingo and also played an app called Phonics Genius which focuses on specific sounds and their spellings. I read individually with some students - I'm working to track their progress with fluency as the year progresses.
Unfortunately I didn't get to take any pictures at the farm today. With Jonny, the farm teacher, the kids transplanted garlic chives from smaller containers to larger ones. They also watered them. With Amy, the kids harvested potatoes, broccoli, and green onions and planted cilantro. It was a little misty, but they worked hard and didn't complain!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit drier! Have a great night!
