What a busy day we had! I really pushed the kids and they did wonderful.
We started with another practice of the national anthem. Some students wanted to try singing it by themselves, and I couldn't believe how many brave souls there were to get up in front of the class and try! Wow. Then we went into language arts. We reviewed
middle sounds in words--much better job today! Then we finished up stations. I pulled small groups to work through our math lesson together.
Warm-up sight word game
For math, we used a counting mat to build concepts of
partners and numbers through 6 (5+1=6. 3+3=6). Then as a whole group we worked more on this on the whiteboard together. Groups of students stood in front of the class and we separated them into partners, a more visual/real life example for those types of learners.
Partner of 5.....2+3
Next we revisited handwriting of
3's and
spacing in sentences. I noticed we had taken a small step back in this area after break, but they picked back up on it quickly today. Afterwards the boys and girls completed a book while I pulled individuals to read to me. Great job!
Story, cheese-it snack, and home!
We filled our brownie tray today too...so extra free time on Friday!!
**Please let me know if you did not receive the blue informational sheet on the hockey game for this coming Friday (for those of you that signed up last month). I can surely send home another one!
