We did our daily math warm up, and found out we have been in school 50 days! We counted to 50 by 1's, 5's, and 10's. Then we reviewed what we know about quarters, nickles, dimes, and pennies. 

Mrs. Boese's class joined us and we started with a verison of the poem "Where is Thumbkin?" Ours went "Where is ____? Where is ___? Here I am...here I am." and so on. They had fun filling in the blanks with classmates names. Then we worked on our onset and rimes, blending parts of words together. We worked on discriminating the /d/ sound and the /p/ sound. I gave a word, if it was /p/ they had to pat their heads. If it was /d/ they had to drum their knees. This was kind of a tricky activity  I was surprised how quickly they could process the information and do the action to go along with it :) 

New stations were introduced. I worked one on one at a station working on math and the equals/not equals signs. The boys and girls were excited about a new game I taught them called Zap! The children working at that station sat in a circle and took turns drawing/reading a sight word on a stick. If they drew the one that said Zap!, they had to put them all back in the cup. The object was to have the only stick left be the zap one. I couldn't believe how much fun they had with this! They found it hilarious and were all giggles :)

     
Boys and Girls working through the stations for the week

We had time to do a direction coloring activity, have a snack, and read a story. Then we put up our chairs and were on our way home.
