Today was a normal Wednesday. We started with our calendar warm-up and then went to centers. We continued work in our Chester books (from The Kissing Hand), did our writing assessment, worked in our math journals, and spent time in the Starfall app on the iPads. After recess, we talked about how pictures help us understand the books we are reading. After lunch we did Interactive writing and created a Circle Map that includes information about sucks. During Interactive Writing, children share the pen and we work on sounding out words and listening for letter sounds. I've included a picture of the Circle Map at the bottom of this post.
We went to the library and the kids got to check out books. I did not get all the books handed out at the end of the day. If your child did not being a book home today, they will bring it home on Friday. Books are due on Wednesdays.
After time in the library, we came back to the room and practiced counting from 6-10 before going to the gym for P.E. When we returned to the classroom we worked on a journal page for the first time. It was difficult for some students who are learning what writing is and that "kindergarten writing" is ok. We will do more writing next week.
We had a busy, but fun day!
