-please remember to return your home reading bags and word rings each day!
Our Words of the week are:
week see need each read eat
Please practice these a little each night. It is most important that they can be recognized by sight to read them. Once your child can read them please practice spelling them. These letter chunks make a squealy long e sound (I sometimes call them the squealing e sisters!) Check out the videos in word work under the blog and review these words tonight.
Today We:
-had literacy stations
-learned about the "ea" and "ee" (Squealy e sisters!) in word work. We did chanting and body spelling of the words of the week, watched some of the videos on the blog and went on a "sound hunt" where we tried to find words with ee and ea letter patterns in them in books and wrote them down.
-finished our pattern Comic life projects on the computers.
-went to music.
-did our daily calendar time. Can your child tell you how much money is made by a quarter, two dimes and two pennies? Try counting this at home!
-had PoWer Hour. In PoWer Hour we:
practiced for our fashion show in ReStyled.
did an obstacle course in minecraft.
built a house with lots of traps in Lego Masters.
sketched the Taj Mahal in Passport Around the World.
made birthday cards for seniors in Give.
went to sleep during Shavasana in Yoga. I learned that "ana" means pose.
played circle games in Athletes in Action.
continued to work on my model in Canadian Soldiers.
worked on our clay projects in Nature Exploration.
labeled our art in Modern Masters.
went on computer programming games in Computer Programming.
