Today we wrote in our journals and reviewed what it means to be a "5 Star Writer"- I was so impressed by the writing of the Kindergarteners and they seemed to seem quite proud of their writing and progress:-)
We also started learning about Alex, our Star of The Week. Alex did a fabulous job sharing his poster and we added new facts about Alex to our mind files. We look forward to guessing your clues tomorrow, Alex!
During Fundations, we continued to segment and blend sounds, focusing on the letters "b" and "d" and "q" and "p". I also gave an explicit lesson on using the phrase "and then", explaining that these are 2 separate words. This seemed to be a an "aha" moment for many.
We started new math stations. One group played "make 10 Bingo" with Ms. Dennehy while others worked with me to show our thoughts for word problems. We worked on 2 specific words problems that children discussed then illustrated.
