Snowy Wednesday

This morning after we enjoyed some time outside we had morning meeting, snack and practiced building and reading words with -at and -an.  Kindergarten was excited to read 17 words!  We have been practicing s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g out the sounds and putting them together to read new words.

In Math today Kindergarten worked with Ms. Gunnarsson on new number books!  Students are practicing writing numbers 1-20 in different ways: the numeral, the number word, tally marks, 10 frames and on a dice.  Students worked with me to answer story problems with math drawings and played a new math game: Snap!  Students worked with a partner and used a stick of 5 cubes and when their partner said snap they broke the stick into two parts, kept one part hidden behind their back and showed the partner the other partner the partner then had to figure out the hidden part.

We went to the computer lab again today for Reader's Workshop.  Students are still getting used to using the computers to read and listen to book on Raz Kids.  I also read the second chapter in Gooseberry Park by Cynthia Rylant which I started last week.  Students are getting used to listening to a chapter and forming the picture in their mind.
