Last week was so much fun!  

Word Study:  We began doing word sorts and learning the routines for them.  Students listen and read sounds in words and sort them according to patterns.  This helps kids learn from what they already know.  

During writing we are working really hard to hear sounds in the beginning, middle and ends of words.  We are also working on adding more details to our stories.  One way to do both of these things is to label pictures.  

Labeling a Water Bottle

Labeling family members

Labeling a Tent and a Fairy 

Jumping in a leaf pile!

Speech bubble that says, "ZZZ."

In Reading we are working on using our SNAP word power.  Here we are playing a game of memory with our snap words.  Fun with a partner AND working on reading and spelling?  Yes, please!

Our Teddy Bear Picnic was a success.  Thank you so much to the PTO (and Roger's mom) for helping us celebrate.  

Finally- Happy Thanksgiving to you and your little Turkeys.  I am grateful for this great class this year and can't wait to get back to work after the holiday break!
