Today in Language Arts we worked on phoneme isolation with words initial sound. We sang a song to the tune of "The Farmer and the Dell," with verses like this:
Big, Bug, and ball,
Big, Bug, and ball,
/b/ is at the beginning of
big, bug, and ball.
...switching out with words like pan, pit and pill, or fat, fit, and farm. They had fun doing this!
Next we reviewed our sight words, especially the new one come as well as the letter and sound I. The children had new stations that included working with the letter i through handwritting and identification, sight word work using whiteboards, pattern review, and a reindeer craft activity.
In math we learned this song,
1 small rabbit having fun,
Now I see another one.
1 plus 1 is two.
Two small rabbits having fun,
now I see another one.
2 plus 1 is 3.
(and so on...)
We practiced coming up with additon storys, then played a math game on thinkcentral to go along with this. The students enjoyed a quick cracker snack, then headed for home!
We have lots of sick kids out in the school, so be extra healthy at home this week!
Our "To make a grinch grin..." project!
