Let it Snow!

Best thing about practically eating brunch and having the first recess of the day?  We were the first ones to run through the freshly fallen snow!  What fun!  It doesn't get any better than that!

Getting everybody dressed and ready took quite a bit of time today.  The more independent your child can be at dressing themselves for the outdoors, including zipping coats and putting on mittens, the better.  

Happy Birthday Lena!!!!

This morning we read our new story, Animal Babies in Grasslands.  We found so many popcorn words in our book!  We underlined them with wiki-sticks.  

We used the ipads during guided reading today to make some of our sight words:

We had four new word work choices today.  We used whisper phones to read and practice spelling our words. 

We wrote our words in secret code-invisibly with white crayons, then painted over them with watercolors to reveal the words.

We wrote our words in markers-blue marker for consonants, and red marker for vowels.  

Our final word work choice was the crocodile chomp!  This basically means we sort our words according to the number of syllables in the word, but it's more fun with a crocodile head staring at you while you work!!!

This afternoon we worked on a secret project-so no pictures!!!

Hope you had a great evening!

Love, 

Mrs. Huettl
