This morning we worked in four different centers. As usual, we completed two centers today and will finish the rotations tomorrow. For word work we matched up our new "popcorn" words, the and little. We can sing these words too! We sing the to the tune of "3 Blind Mice." We sing little to the tune of "Happy Birthday." Hum the melody at home and see if you child can sing their word!
After finishing the worksheet, we played a game called, Roll and Read. Students roll a die and read the words in the column that corresponds to the number that was rolled. This is a fun way to practice reading the words in isolation.
Our technology center was ABCMouse.com. We changed some levels so that each student is working at their own appropriate pace.
One of the characters in our story this week is Plaidypus. We made Plaidypus paper bag puppets at our art center today!
Students with Mrs. Huettl worked on listening to reading with ipods. We are beginning to show independence with this activity which means it may become a part of our Daily 5 (Reading Choices) time soon!
In math we talked about shapes. We went on a shape hunt in magazines. We are working on creating shape posters as a class. Each day this week tables will get a different shape poster to add to!
This afternoon during journals, I challenged students to use at least one popcorn word in their journal. They did great and their confidence was through the roof when they realized they could spell the words correctly without looking!!!
Enjoy your evening!
Love,
Mrs. Huettl
