I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
Today we read a poem with a word that we knew- or! The students took the lead and barely needed me to help them read this poem!
We worked on some more phonics skills today. We continued to work on some activities that had us identifying the beginning sound, the end sound and the middle sound. This is such a good activity to help students slow down and sound out words, and take the time to listen to the sounds they are saying. They are all continuing to amaze me and themselves with what they can do!
Today in drama we played charades. This was a good way to get our bodies to do the acting, not our mouths! Some students found out that they needed to do more actions than they originally thought!
In Math we worked with a number line and teen numbers. We had to use the number line to identify the teen number that comes before and after a certain number. Some students are still struggling with this, even with the number line there with them. I don't want to move on until everyone is getting this- so we will spend more time on this with some students!
We were supposed to Skype Macoun today, but their teacher wasn't ready so we are HOPEFULLY doing this Thursday!
Thank you to everyone who sent family pictures! We compared or families again today. I discussed my family- my parents aren't together so I have 2 families. Now that I am married I have 3 families all together. We compared my family to those in the class. I then had those students who brought a picture to share their photo and explain their family to us, who lives with you, etc.
We had our Bus Evacuation practice today. Due to the weather, our driver could only explain it all to us. Some students had excellent questions, and a lot knew all of the rules! They were super behaved during this!
We had such a busy day today, and we were so busy we didn't even get to everything that I had planned, makes my planning easier for the week!
Have a fantastic night!
