Today we started off with community circle. The children passed around our teddy bear and shared their favorite part of the weekend. Then we had intervention time, where we reviewed all our sight words, sounds, letter names, and finally played a game of Buried Treasure.
In language arts we worked more with isolating middle sounds. Students were given a word and they had to tell me only the middle sound. This is a bit tricky to not say the beginning or ending sound along with it! They are getting much better. We reviewed rhyming words as well as beginning sounds. Then we worked with the it and at word families. Students finished up station work from last week while I pulled them aside to do our second quarter testing. They are being tested over sight words, letter names and sounds, name writing, phone number (although we don't pay attention to this since we don't teach it), and rhyming words. We will test of various other skills next week.
The
10 bug revisited us and reminded us that he is going to keep looking for us to group our math work into tens.
Working on a quick fast math sheet
We worked more with writing sentences with detail, instead of just the simple sentences we are used to writing. Students did a much better job today with spacing, having their letters touch the top and bottom lines, and adding a picture with lots of detail. Way to go!
