One of our literacy centers was this tricky game....students rolled a dice 3 times to see what the beginning, middle, and ending sounds of their word would be. Then they wrote the word and decided if it was "real" or silly.
We've also been paying more attention to the shape of letters to get ready for writing on lines in 1st grade. This is a sorting center...students had to decide if each letter is tall, small, or "falls" below the line.
This game is like "Sequence". The spinner lands on the beginning sound, then students find a picture on the game board that starts with that sound. The goal is to get 3 chips (pictures) in a row.
Our reading lesson today was comparing/contrasting fiction and nonfiction stories. Then we read for 15 minutes with our book buddies. The kids are getting SO GOOD at using reading strategies to figure out words!
Kayla just figured out the words "lakes and rivers"...yay!! :)
During writer's workshop this week, we will finish our letters to a friend...
We are AWESOME kindergarten writers!!
Just a reminder that our music program is tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Please bring your child to the CAL Center-at the high school- by 5:45. We will meet in the commons.
