Today we did our morning calendar and daily math. Then Mrs. Boese's class joined us and we we warmed up to our language arts with a poem called "Here is the Schoolhouse." To go along with it, the children acted out the poem on their fingers. Then we played our mystery game where I told them the ending of the word, then the beginnning, and they had to flip it and tell me the word (ex. ock-/d/....dock! or -an-/t/...tan!). Then we worked to build and read simple one syllable words and the children clapped out the parts (ex. /r/ /a/ /t/....rat!).
Next we reviewed how to properly make the number 7. We also talked about postion words such as beside, next to, under, and above. The students followed these activities by doing a 7 practice sheet and a turkey book of postion words.
When they were done with this they worked on a holiday card and I did a painting project with them one on one.
Finally, we had time to go outside for the last 10 minutes! :) They had a blast.
Have a great weekend!
