Top Ten for the Week of February 22nd to 25th

We had another great week of learning and playing together! Here are some of the highlights:

1. Literacy Stations: We worked on handwriting, building words and blending the sounds, BookFlix on the computer, sentence editing, and filling in the blanks by adding sight words to a story. Thank you to Matthew's, Adrien's, and Luka's moms for helping this week!

2. Phonics: We worked on breaking words up into the onset and rime (c-ake), and played a board game to practice. We also practiced changing the first letter of a word to make a new one.

Top Ten For the Week of February 15th - 19th.

Here are a few things we did during our busy week of school.

1. Text Talk: We read Little Polar Bear and the Brave Little Hare. The words we focused on were embarrassed, warn, concerned, thumped, steep, and frigid.

2. Phonics: The students read a letter from me telling them what great readers they are. We also practiced making different words with the same ending.

3. Making Meaning: We read the story Cookie's Week and continued to practice the skill of visualizing. Visualizing helps children to understand and connect mental images to something that is read or heard. Creating mental images helps readers understand and enjoy texts.
