I could not have asked for a better first day back from break! The kids were great today! It was fun to hear all of their stories about what they did over spring break! They all agreed that they all were able to relax and have some fun over the break! They got right back into the swing of things in the classroom so that was great! The kids started out with new Green Bay Packer pencils this morning! I am a huge Packer fan and was in Green Bay for a day over break so I bought them all nice new pencils!
For morning work they each wrote at least 2 sentences about something they did over break. Then they drew an illustration to go with their sentence. We then had our morning meeting and shared our spring break activities. In Fundations we talked about the long a sounds and how most of the time ai makes the long a sound. We had some good discussion and made a list of words with long a and with the ai spellings!
We had two center rotations today!
Language arts we started discussing story characteristics. We will be doing much more with this throughout the week.
We finished our Magic Treehouse book today after lunch.
The kids had music and movement.
When they came back from music and movement we worked on our word families and some math facts. We practiced counting and number identification.
After lunch and snack we had our science time. We discussed seeds and the process of planting and growing them. We planted our own tomato seeds and will be monitoring their growth throughout the remainder of the school year. I am very excited for this process and know the kids are too! Each got to plant their very own tomato plant seeds!
We finished the day with math skills about more or less and number identification. The kids were great during this time!
It was a great first day back!!! We will start Dibels Mclass testing next Wednesday so please be practicing counting to 100 in under a minute, number identification 0-100, missing number 0-20, and Quantity discrimination. We will be hitting these things hard each day in class but extra practice at home will make a big difference! It would be great to see everyone in Green to finish out the year!!!
Looking forward to a great week!
