Today I was very impressed with what the students remembered, academic wise and behavior wise, after such a long weekend :)
We started off with community circle and the children shared something about their break. Then we did our calendar. The boys and girls are getting good at reading the days of the week, talking about what day it is today, was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. They also are learning how to say the date properly "Monday, November 26th."
We reviewed past language arts concepts then started on a new lesson. The children learned the sight word he. We worked on onsets and rymes as well as rhyming words.
We broke into new stations. One was a word work building station where students used letter cubes to build sight words. Then they recorded the sight words onto their paper. Other stations included ABC dot paint, handwriting of he and like, and a small group math station with me where we talked about shapes in our classroom. They worked really hard today and did most everything independently with few questions :)
We had time to dance to a few songs, eat a snack, and hear a story. Looking forward to a good rest of the week!
