Today for Math our goal was to use problem-solving skills to complete growing patterns. The children learned taht a growing pattern "grows," instead of repeating (ex. one circle, two circles, three circles, four circles). The boys and girls were given an activity where they had to complete the growing pattern.
In Language Arts we reviewed the sight word
come and the letter
i. The boys and girls have been reading a book called
"Down on the Farm." We talked about what can come to a farm; chickens, turkeys, horses, etc. They did a writing assignment where they used the sentence frame "A _______can come." When they completed this, they had a challenge -ap family word find. This was optional, as it is (what I say) 1st grade work.
We worked with the /i/ sound. Boys and girls drew three boxes and had to write the i in the correct box, if they heard it at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.
We then gathered around my computer (I have no speakers that project sound! :( ) and watched a short movie about the grinch. We talked about what we could do to make people like the grinch smile. They started a writing activity/craft today working on "To make a grinch grin I would..."
Busy day!
Not sure I shared before but here are the students reindeer they made a week or so ago!
