A visit from a bunny!

We are working on reading nonfiction and fiction texts. We read a fiction and nonfiction book about bunnies. We completed a Venn Diagram about the two books and made comparisons. Then, we were able to see a real bunny and pet him. The kids were in love (okay and so was I haha)!

Working on Word Order

We are working on sentence order and structure. Students were able to take a sentence that was out of order and write it correctly. They mixed up the words and placed them in a bag and then traded with another group. They worked together to get the sentences in the correct order. They are just amazing!

Shaving Cream Spelling

We practice our words by writing them in Shaving Cream. This is a great tactile learning style. It helps to reinforce letter formation and spelling words. 

If you give a cat a cupcake

This is one of the kid's favorite books that we have read. We even decorated our own cupcakes and retold the story :)

Show and Tell

The kids really enjoyed their Show and Tell. Unfortunately my camera wouldn't take all of the pictures :( I'm sorry if your child is not pictured. The star student for the week will be the one do show and tell.

Picking out books for Daily 5!

Students are very excited about their book baskets. They have many different books in their baskets. They have picked many of the books that go into their basket and of course some come from our reading series. They are very eager to pick out their own books. We are working on picking out appropriate books.

They have learned to put up a finger for every word that they can not say from their book. They will do this only over a page or two.

0-1 fingers= too easy
2-3 fingers= just right
4-5 fingers= too hard

They are VERY engaged in their books. They are learning to take their time and read so that they can understand. We have learned two new strategies this week for reading. I will be sharing those with you guys soon so that you may practice at home.
