Tuesday April 16, 2013

We had a great Tuesday!
Our morning work was the other side of our add and color worksheet. The kids did a great job with this activity and enjoyed coloring in the pictures!
We then had morning meeting and morning board time. All the kids did a great job staying focused during this time!
We had two center rotations today. My groups started working on the story details sheets that we will be working on throughout the remainder of the year after we read!
Following centers we worked on our fundations worksheet. We are talking about blends! Today's lesson was consonant r blends. We had a lengthy discussion about this before centers and completed the worksheet after centers. We took our time and worked through this. Blends are difficult for many to understand but we will be discussing them everyday through the end of the year.
Next was lunch, today the group of students who brought back spring break packets got to have lunch with me in the classroom! They really enjoyed this and it was great to be able to reward those who completed the extra practice work!
Following lunch we had read aloud time.
In math today we completed a hot pencils math test. The kids are doing a great job on these! Next we completed three pages from our April math books. We also worked on addition problems. The kids really are mastering their addition skills! Finally we introduced the different ways to add up to ten. We used blocks to give a visual during this time. We also talked about turn-around facts. The kids did a good job during this and we will continue to practice throughout the week.
Finally we ended our day working on our spring acrostic poems. We did not finish but the kids have been coming up with great things to write!
We had art to finish the day!
Dibels testing will start tomorrow so please be sure that your child gets a good amount of sleep and a healthy breakfast to start the day! Tomorrow we will be tested on letter sounds in nonsense words. For example they will see the word MIP and must say /M/ /I/ /P/. I am confident that they will all do well!!!
Get them outside after school to run around and play!!
