In Literacy Lab this week, we practiced identifying the letters T & S, their sounds, reading books about the letters, and writing words that begin with those letters.
We sorted pictures by their beginning sounds.
We finished up our Get Outside Book Club by reading our last two books this week. First we read "Max Found Two Sticks" and on the playground we used sticks to make music just like Max did.
We also read a book about bugs. When we went outside on the playground, the children were looking everywhere for bugs! Ayden found a grasshopper and Elizabeth caught an ant.
We finished up our treasure blocks this week by learning about these 3 friends. Stay tuned in next week's post to see what our writer's workshop will look like!
We did another color mixing experiment this week. Each student got a ziploc bag with red and yellow paint inside. First we predicted what we thought would happen when they mixed together. Then the students got to mix them together. They were excited that they made orange! We also learned how to spell the color word orange.
Then we documented what we noticed in our exploration journals.
We finished our purple mosaic and got to take home our purple color book.
We learned about the letters X, Y, Z & C this week.
We learned about environmental print that we see all around us. We made environmental print books and each student chose their 4 favorite environmental print pictures for their book.
We practiced reading the words.
We glued them in our books and then we practice reading our books.
We had preschoolers come visit our classroom on Friday. They will be our reading buddies and we will be working with them every Friday. Our Kindergarten students practiced reading past color books, letter books and their environmental print books to the preschool students that they were paired up with. They really enjoyed getting to read to the preschoolers!
Elizabeth was chosen for the school's asset builder of the month. Congratulations Elizabeth!
Thank you for checking in! Come back again next week to see what we are up to!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Brittany Garrabrant
