The boys and girls are now in the routine of coming in and working at their seats for the first 10 minutes, finishing unfinished work or coloring/drawing/writing. We did this, then gathered on the carpet for calendar.
During intervention time we reviewed the sight words see and where. Then we learned the new sight word what. We practiced spelling it along with actions.
During station time we read the book "What Will Dad See?" We practiced number recognition, and did a sight word game. We then had a brief intro lesson on President Washington and President Lincoln. We compared our names with theirs. Are they longer, shorter, or the same?
For math, we played a game where the students decided how many pennies they wanted. Then they told their partner the total number they were starting with. The partner closed their eyes, and partner 2 covered up some pennies. Partner 1 opened their eye and had to figure out how many were hidding under the cup. They loved this game! It was great addition and subtraction practice.
We finished with a cracker snack, a story, and then the bus!
