I hope that the "Rain Day" did not cause you much frustration! Here are some pictures of what we did last week....
We are practicing Daily 5 for reading and writing! :) I have seen several teachers use Daily 5 successfully in their classrooms and was eager to start it with your students! The goal of Daily 5 is to have each student working at their own personal level which allows me to pull small groups or work individually with students. The first few months of Daily 5 is rough with such a young age group. We are practicing "Read to Self" right now. Students are given book(s) and they choose a spot and read. They can read the pictures, read the words (if able), and retell the story. My goal is to get them up to 15 minutes before we move on to another skill. Right now, we are at 2 minutes and 21 seconds after just 3 days!!! I am so proud of your students for being such good learners!
We also did a cut and paste activity for the letter Cc! We tried a new gluing technique that helps not get everything covered in glue and/or ruin the glue sticks. So far, it has worked beautifully! Your student was to cut out the pictures and glue on the ones that started with C. I am proud to say that EVERY student completed the assignment correctly!!! :)
Overall, it was a great week! I see your child improving and learning EVERY DAY in school whether it be just remembering routines to seeing them understand a new concept. That is one of the many reasons I love teaching Kindergarten!
This week we will be learning about FARMS! We will be making some arts and crafts and reading about real life farms along with stories about farms.
As always, I hope you enjoyed your weekend and "Rain Day"!
